PARVIN, THEOPHILVS, M. D., LL. D., 



Prof, of Obstetrics and the Diseases of Women and Children in Jefferson Med. Coll., Phila. 

 The Science and Art of Obstetrics. In one handsome 8vo. volume of 697 

 pages, with 214 engravings and a colored plate. Cloth, $4.25 ; leather, $5.25. Just ready. 



There is not in the language a treatise on the 

 subject which so completely and intelligently 

 gleans the whole field of obstetric literature, giv- 

 ing the reader the winnowed wheat in concise and 

 well-jointed phrase, in language of exceptional 

 purity and strength. A thorough student always, 



a close observer from a practising standpoint for 

 a third of a century, and a critical teacher for a 

 score of years, Prof. Parvin has conscientiously 

 devoted the accomplishments of his culture to 

 the preparation of his book, and his readers will 



have the benefit of a work full of the riches of 

 an erudite author inspired with his labor, and 

 wisely wedded to the truth therein as he sees it. 

 The arrangement of the matter of this work is 

 unique and exceedingly favorable for an agreeable 

 unfolding of the science and art of obstetrics. 

 This new book is the easy superior of any single 

 work among its predecessors for the student or 

 practitioner seeking the best thought of the day 

 in th ; ? department of medicine. The American 

 Practitioner and News, April 2, 1887.

and FANCOURT, M. 



Obstetric Phys. to St. Thomas 1 Hosp., Land. 



A System of Obstetric Medicine and Surgery, Theoretical and Clin- 

 ical. For the Student and the Practitioner. The Section on Embryology contributed by 

 Prof. Milnes Marshall. In one handsome octavo volume of 872 pages, with 231 illus- 

 trations. Cloth, $5; leather, $6. 



This system will be eagerly sought for, not only 

 on account of its intrinsic merit, but also because 

 the reputation which the eider Barnes, in particu- 

 lar, has secured, carries with it the conviction that 

 any book emanating from him is necessarily sound 

 in teaching and conservative in practice. It is in- 

 deed eminently fitting that a man who has done so 

 much towards systematizing the obstetric art, who 

 for so many years has been widely known as a capa- 



ble teacher and trusted accoucheur, should embody 

 within a single treatise the system which he has 

 taught and in practice tested, and which is the out- 

 come of a lifetime of earnest labor, careful obser- 

 vation and deep study. Tne result of this arrange- 

 ment is the prod uction ot a work which rises above 

 criticism and which in no respect need yield the 

 palm to any obstetrical treatise hitherto published.

PLAYFAIR, W. S., M. J>., F. R. C. P., 



Professor of Obstetric Medicine in King's College, London, etc. 



A Treatise on the Science and Practice of Midwifery- ^ ew (fourth) 

 American, from the fifth English edition. Edited, with additions, by EGBERT P. HAR- 

 RIS, M. D. In one handsome octavo volume of 654 pages, with 3 plates and 201 engrav- 

 ings. Cloth, $4 ; leather, $5 ; half Eussia, $5.50. 



This still remains a favorite in America, not 

 only because the author is recognized as a safe 

 guide and eminently progressive man, but also as 

 sparing no effort to make each successive edition 

 a faithful mirror of the latest and best practice. 

 A work so frequently noticed as the present 

 requires no further review. We believe that this 

 edition is simply the forerunner of many others, 

 and that the demand will keep pace with the 



supply. American Journal of Obstetrics, Nov. 1885. 

 Since its first publication, only eight years ago, 

 it has rapidly become the favorite text-book, to 

 the practical exclusion of all others. A large 

 measure of its popularity is due to the clear and 

 easy style in which it is written. Few text-books 

 for students have very much to boast of in this 

 respect. Medical Record.

A Manual of Obstetrics. New (third) edition. In one very handsome 12mo.

This little manual, certainly the best of its kind, bulky it is concise. The chapters are divided with

third edition necessary. Clear, practical, concise, of any particular subject, and the definitions are
