Abstract
Recently, two works have appeared in the Russian medical literature, treating about scooping or scraping as a method for producing a legitimate artificial miscarriage: part of the pr., I. Lvov), and part of the pr., A. A. Muratov). Both of these authors refer to an article by Dr. P. Puech, entitled: "Du Curettage comme méthode d'avortement artificiel", published in the August book of Annales de Gynécologie et d'obstétr. for 1895. Within the meaning of this reference, one may think that Puech was the first to recommend this method in print as an independent one and pointed out its advantages over all other methods practiced before to induce an artificial abortion. Lvov (1. p.), Says: “True, many other authors resorted to removing the fetal egg from the uterus with a sharp or blunt spoon, but they resorted to this method not on their own, but accidentally, as an auxiliary technique when it was impossible to remove fertile eggs in another way.
