The Truth About Twilight
Modern Miracle of Painless

ARTICLE II
(Editor's Nete: ThU i the second
of three articles nn "painless child

recognized us an American autboii y
on the use of seopolainin for "twi
light sleep" maternity.)
(Hy Dr. Francis It. Wakefield.) I
The whole object to be accomplish I
ed by the use of .seopolnmiu, the ding'
that induces the "twilight sleep" in I
which childbirth lakes place wi bout
memory of pain on the part of the;
mother, is to produce a semi-con
scious condition without interfering
with the normal progress of labor.
This may sound easy on paper, but
is really a very ditficult lieiitincnl ,
to carry out successfully. It is eosyi
enough to get the patient into the
desired condition, hut it is by no
means so easy to perpo'uatc this
state over an extended period, often
trom twelve to fifteen hours. Par
ticularly is it difficult to maintain the
delicate half-sleep toward the con
clusion of childbirth.
A sharp sound will throw the pa
tient out of this delicate psycholog
ical ciiioisc. If labor is well ad
vanced it is then almost iinsssible
to' again induce the semi-conscious
