Caption The Kit
Additional Information The Kit.-Your bag should be of leather...it should have a lining which you can take out and wash and boil. Otherwise it is impossible to keep a bag clean. The bag should also be large enough to carry all of your kit easily, and it is a convenience to have one that can be kept open by means of stays. [Wrench, Guy Theodore. "Rotunda midwifery for nurses and midwives." London: Frowde, 1908, p.70]

Caption Cleaning the kit
Additional Information Cleaning the Kit when you come Home from a Case.- You should clean your kit as soon as you come home from a case, even if you are dead beat in the early hours of the morning, for you may get another call and your kit will not be ready...I advice you to have spare sets of bags, which you boil and hang upside down until they are dry. Their insides will be "sterile," that is to say any microbes inside the bag will have been killed by boiling.[Wrench, Guy Theodore. "Rotunda midwifery for nurses and midwives." London: Frowde, 1908, p.72]
