In our medical colleges the teachers of Obstetrics dwell upon the use of blood-letting (phlebotomy) in 

 cases of puerperal convulsions, and to this method Dr. Michener and his fellows give their unqualified 

 support not to take a prescribed number of ounces, but to bleed for effect, and from a large orifice. This 

 is plainly and admirably set forth in his book. To bleed requires a cutting instrument, not necessarily a 

 lancet, for Dr. M. states how in one case a pocket-knife was used and the desired effect produced. 



Let the young physician gather courage from this little book, and let the more experienced give testi- 

 mony to confirm its teaching. 



We have always thought that this treatment was 

 indorsed, approved, "and practiced by physicians generally ; 

 and to such as doubt the efficacy of blood-letting we would 

 commend this little volume. Southern Ciinir. 



The authors are seriously striving to restore the 



"lost art" of blood-letting, and we must commend the 

 modesty of their endeavor. North Carolina Jled. Jrmr. 



The cases were ably analyzed, and this plea for vene- 

 section should receive the most attentive consideration from, 

 obstetricians. Medical and Surgical Reporter.
