Abstract
ABSTRACT Nature teaches that she endeavors to establish a favorable relativity in size, axes and diameters between those of the mother and her parts, especially the pelvis, and those of the fetus and its parts. Where this is, there is the normal. When this favorable relativity is present and with long fetal part diameter to long pelvic diameter given the proper parturient power, there will be natural, unassisted or normal labor, without destruction or harmful adaptation of part to part; where otherwise, as long fetal part diameter to a shorter pelvic diameter there will be unnatural or abnormal labor, requiring corrective assistance either natural or artificial, be it at the superior strait, in the cavity or at the outlet; be it upon the mother's part or upon the fetus' parts, and as a result of such deviation, necessity has invented operations, such as the forceps, turning, Caesarean section, embryotomy, and yielding
