Midwifery
Julie Graves "was a state health nurse
directly involved with the development of the midwife program in Florida."(1)
During her career she documented many of the early treatments and remedies used
by midwives during pregnancy and childbirth. Reproduced here is a typescript
prepared by Graves that lists some of these treatments. (1) Debra Anne Susie,
