“The child neither cried nor seemed to breathe⟳, but he could be given no succour until the womb was freed of its afterburden; and all efforts were centred upon this.”
“But if the after-burden should come⟳ first, it must not be put⟳ up again by any means; for the infant having no further occasion for it, it would be but an obstacle if it were put⟳ up; in this case, it must be cut⟳ off, having tied the navel string, and afterwards draw⟳ forth the child with all speed⟳ that may be, lest it be suffocated.”
