Abstract

If information is sought from the textbooks on obstetrics and from many of the papers that deal with the pregnancy toxemias, the outcome is not infrequently an elaborate classification of these states which ranges all the way from a toxic psychosis to acute yellow atrophy of the liver. Such classifications may be necessary in order to clarify superficially a group of conditions the cause of which is unknown but which manifest themselves clinically by a wide variety of symptoms. Few attempts have been made through systematic study to determine whether there does not exist during gestation some generalized disturbance in the pregnant organism which may manifest itself through different organs and be in part responsible for changes in these tissues. Among these few and quite different from the usual type of investigation of these toxemias are the splendid studies of Stander and his associates,¹Loeser²and Bakelmann.³
