    among the infants is partly clue to the circumstance that the labour so often comes on prematurely; most of the first born children that survived, so far as we can learn from Head’s statistics, having been carried till the 8th or 9th month; only one was born at 7| months. I would only add with respect to the injury of the infant’s leg, that it was new to me to observe the lacerations of the muscles and vessels that had obviously taken place. But then the infants brought into the world under similar circum- stances are most frequently dead, as we have just seen. Hence, ] though such injuries may have been inflicted on them, we leave j no vital reaction to betray the mischief. EDINBURGH : PRINTED BY OLIVER AND BOYR.
