To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Her safety, however, in all these pro- cedures depends very largely upon the careful antisepsis practiced by the physician, and in general it may be stated that that method of producing abortion is best which is most sure to do little violence to the mother's uterus, and leave it entirely empty. By criminal abortion is understood the interruption of preg- nancy without justification ; this is commonly practiced by the administration of drugs supposed to produce uterine contractions ; such are t...ansy, nutmeg, ginger, cantharides, and a number of patent medicines whose active principle is usually ergot or quinine. It is extremely doubtful in healthy women whether any of these drugs are capable of producing the desired effect ; they are certainly far from being reliable ; failing to produce abortion with these means, the patient usually seeks the assistance of an accomplice ; the injection of hot or cold water into the vagina, and the introduction into the uterus of a foreign body, are the most usual methods employed ; splinters of wood, hair-pins, pieces of whalebone, pieces of wire, and various articles have been used for this purpose.
