Abstract
Toxemia of late pregnancy has virtually disappeared in areas where pregnant women receive good prenatal nutrition. The disease is more severe when protein intake is very low; dietary salt restriction and administration of saluretic diuretics have no significant effect in preventing toxemia. A weekly lecture emphasizing good nutrition and presented to patients on their initial visit to a prenatal clinic has been effective in preventing toxemia.
