Página 313 - I then brought down the vertex to the right ischium, turned it below the pubes, and the forehead into the hollow of the sacrum; and safely delivered the head by pulling it up from the perineum and over the pubes. This method succeeding so well gave me great joy, and was the first hint, in consequence of which I deviated from the common method of pulling forcibly along and fixing the forceps at random on the head; my eyes were now opened to a new field of improvement in the method of using the forceps...
Página 312 - I introduced the forceps along the ears, holding the handles, when fixed, towards the vertex, which was to the right side of the os coccygis.

But here I must differ from this description in one point, which at first sight may probably seem very trivial: the breast of the child does certainly lie on the sacrum of the mother, but the face does not, for it always, when naturally presented, is turned either to the one side or the other, so as to have the chin directly on one of the shoulders.

When it is thrust in as far as may be, by bending you will easily fix it under the child's jaw-bone, near its articulation with the cranium ; thus the mother's efforts may be very much assisted...
