240 NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL SOCIETY the negroes, who need the work as much if not more. We are now taking a certain portion of it to every township in the county, mainly to popularize the study of the baby, and to have the parents realize how much better results they would achieve with the help of a doctor rather than the advice of neighbors and friends. It has been wonderful to see the interest of not only women, but men who have left their farms in the midst of the busy ploughing and planting season, and come ten, twelve, and fifteen miles to learn how to raise better babies. As the most valuable assistant to the doctor, we hope to see visiting nurses installed in every community, or, at least, every county. At the present time she would be the most effectual educational agency, keeping the doctor and patient in touch, and eventually, perhaps, taking the place of the untrained midwife. I greatly appreciate the honor you have shown me, or rather the work I represent, and thank you for the time you have kindly spared from an already over-full session. THE RELATION OF THE GENERAL PRACTITIONER TO OBSTETRICS. Dr. Ben H. Hackney, Bynum, N. C. The close relation of the men of medicine to obstetrics has been observed since the days of Hippocrates, but it was not so deeply impressed upon the educated public until the notable discovery of the obstetrical forceps by Albucasis in 1092. No more important question can engage the attention of our profession today than the relation of the general practitioner to obstetrics. Many of these cases inevitably came first to him when under conditions most unfavorable. Without previously seeing the patient, he may be confronted by the most dangerous complications of parturition. Unaided, he must perform difficult operations under the pressure of necessity. In no branch of medicine is the general practitioner placed at such disadvantages. General practitioners may be divided into two classes when we consider the field of obstetrics. The larger group are those who do obstetrical work to hold the medical practice of the family. A very much smaller number have natural surgical inclinations, and do this with interest and pleasure. A considerable number of practitioners of medicine, however, are beginning professional life, but have not as yet achieved success, and are dependent for a living 011 all cases whose
