Abstract

The Observations contained in the following paper were commenced prior to the War, in the wards of Dr Jardine at the Glasgow Royal Maternity and Womens' Hospital, and the work done there is comprised in the section denting with the ophthalmic changes found in the toxemic states of pregnancy. The remainder of the paper is based partly on the the literature of the subject, and partly on observations carried out in private practice among my own patients. The theory I have evolved with regard to eclampsia I have not seen advanced previously while it cannot lay claim to any great merit on the score of originality, since it is only the piecing together of the work of others, nevertheless the theory seems to fit the case and coordinate the various facts, which without this coordination are only isolated pieces of information.
