...action begins in Dr. DeLee's lecture room. A nurse enters, asks, "Are you ready, doctor? Dr. [Morris Edward] Davis thinks there may be a forceps case in the birth room." Dr. DeLee reads the mother's hospital chart, looks up, announces, "Forceps may really be needed. . . . Gentlemen, this is a forceps case. Let us proceed to the amphitheatre."

He can quickly turn through it to any state or subdivision.

Under the Congressman's name are the returns...
