AB It  is  generally  admitted  that  there  exists  in  the  medulla  a  centre  for  uterine  contractions,  which  can  be  stimulated  by  an  excess  of  carbon  dioxide  in  the  blood,  by  anaemia  and  the  presence  of  various  toxic  substances;  and  it  seems  highly  probable  that  the  frequency  of  premature  labour  in  cases  of  renal  insufficiency  and  eclampsia  may  be  due  to  the  action  of  metabolic  poisons  upon  the  centre.—J.  Whitridge  Williams  (1903)
