Въ тѣхъ случаяхъ, гдѣ при родахъ можно ожидать слабость потугъ, авторъ пробуетъ давать въ теченіи послѣднихъ 6—8 недѣль, съ перерывомъ, стрихнинъ по 0,002—0,0025 два раза въ. день. До настоящаго времени онъ примѣнилъ это средство у 16 беременныхъ и только у двухъ (первобеременныхъ) роды были медленны. У всѣхъ же остальныхъ, съ привычной слабостью потугъ, съ хроническимъ метритомъ, съ фиброміомой матки, съ страданіемъ придатковъ (истеричная), съ отвислымъ животомъ, у сифилитички, роды протекли быстро и вполнѣ правильно.
