Section IX The Diseases of Pregnancy
The diseases which are found during pregnancy are of two kinds; the first kind called Sympathetic, or nervous, consist of various derangements of different parts of the system, produced chiefly by nervous sympathy with the Womb. The second kind, called Idiopathic, are real primary derangements of the Generative Organs themselves, or of those intimately connected with them. Each of these kinds will be treated of separately.
