A TREATISE ON THE SCIENCE AND PRACTICE OF MIDWIFERY. 



In one handsome octavo volume of 576 pages, with 166 illustrations : cloth, $4 00; lea- 

 ther, $5 00. (Just Issued.) 



The gtinlent and also the busy practitioner will find 

 here a rich mine from which he may obiain valuable 

 information to aid him iu his attendance on the pu-r- 

 peral female The whole chapter upon the management 

 of a natural labor is by itsell worth the price of the 

 book. Indeed, authors generally seem to regard this 

 matter as of trivial importance, as though it were a 

 thing too well known to need elucidation, while they 

 dwell at great and tiresome length upon malpresenta- 

 tion~. malformations, etc , matters wliir.b so rarely are 

 encoun ered by the general practitioner But we might 

 continue at still greater length, so fascimtiug have we 

 found this book of Dr. Play fair's. We would earnestly 

 recommend it to all our readers as a book which should 

 occupy a prominent poMiiou on their i-helves, and one, 

 too, which they should constantly and carefully study.

The author's reputation was sufficient to warrant 

 great expectations, when his fo thcoming work was an- 

 nounced, and its appearance has caused no disapp int- 

 ment It deals in a masterly way with many disputed 

 points, and gives conclusions which it would be difficult 

 to gainsay. The work is the most valuable acquisition 

 to the subject on which it treats which has been given 



the profession in a long time, and in saying this we do 

 not forget the mam admirable treatises which have re- 

 cently appeared. No practitioner can afford to be with- 

 out it Peninsular Journ. of Med., Sept. 1875. 



The high reputation already won by Dr. I'layfair in 

 this special department of medicine is a sufficient guar- 

 antee fur the meritorious characterof this wurk. Every 

 page is replete with interesting and instructive matter, 

 containing the very latest information regarding the 

 subject of ob^etrics, full of hints of the greatest prac- 

 tical value. This work will find, we predict, a large and 

 ready sale The book is profusely illustrated with valu- 

 able wood-cuts, and is printed in beautiful type. Cin- 

 cinnati Lance.t and Observer. Nov. 1876. 



This is pre-eminently a work adapted to the wants of 

 students, and will do more towaul accomplishing the 

 profession a', large iu that particular branch of medicine 

 than any other work in the field of ob.-tetrie literature. 

 In praise of this work too much cannot be said in ad- 

 verse criticism very little. \Ve advise every student 

 and ever', graduate to obtain it. and hope, ere long, to 

 see it adopted as the principal text booK of obstetric 

 medicine in every college in the United States. Nash- 

 ville Med. and Sitrg. Juuru., Oct. 1876.

trated with large lithographic plates containing one hundred and fifty-nine figures from 

 original photographs, and with numerous wood-cuts. In one large and beautifully printed 

 quarto volume of 550 double-columned pages, strongly bound in cloth, $14. 



The work of Dr. Hodge is something more than ai obstetricians. Of the American works on the subject 



ilmple presentation of his particular views in the de- 

 partment of Obstetrics ; it is something more than an 

 ordinary treatise on midwifery ; it is, in fact. cyclo- 

 pdia of midwifery. He has aimed to embody in a 

 single volume the whole science and art of Obstetrics 

 An elaborate text is combined with accurate and va- 

 rifd pictorial illustrations, so that no fact or principle 

 Is left unstated or unexplained. Am. Med. Times, 

 Sept. 3, 1864. 



It is very large, profusely and elegantly illustrated' 

 and is fitted to take its place near the works of great 



it is decidedly the best. Edinb. Med. Jour., Dec. '64. 

 We have read Dr. Hodge s book with great plea- 

 sure, and have much satisfaction in expressing onr 

 commendation of it as a whole. It is certainly highly 

 instructive, and in the main, we believe, correct. The 

 great attention, which the author has devoted to the 

 mechanism of parturition, taken along with the con- 

 clusions at which he has arrived, point, we think, 

 conclusively to the fact that, in Britain at least, th 

 doctrines of Naegele have been too blindly received.
