Prof. Robert Barnes. The indications for the induction of premature labor. (Lancet, August 11, 1894, p. 314). Indications for premature birth. (Lecture read at the British Doctors' Convention in Bristol on August 1, 1894).

V. Barnes considers the establishment of the correct indications for premature birth to be a brilliant proof of the progress of medicine in general and, in particular, of the conservative direction in obstetrics. To determine diseases that require an interruption of pregnancy, one should trace what occurs in such cases in the body of a pregnant woman spontaneously, that is, take a closer look at natural self-help.
