We will only add that the student will learn from 

 it all he need to know, and the practitioner will find 

 it, as a book of reference, surpassed by none other.

The character and merits of Dr. Kamsbotham's 

 work are so well knowa and thoroughly established, 

 that comment is unnecessary and praise superfluous. 

 The illustrations, which are numerous and accurate, 

 are executed in the highest style of art. We cannot 

 too highly recommend the work to our readers. St. 

 Louis Med. and.Sv.rg. Journal. 



To the physician's library it is indispensable, while 

 to the student, as a text-book, from which to extract 

 the material for laying the foundation of an education 

 on obstetrical science, it has no superior. Ohio Med. 

 and Surg. Journal. 



When we call to mind the toil we underwent in 

 acquiring a knowledge of this subject, we cannot but 

 envy the student of the present day the aid which 

 this work will afford him. Am. Jour, of tht Med.

OBSTETRICS: THE SCIENCE AND THE ART. Fourth edition, 



revised and improved. With one hundred and twenty-nine illustrations. In one beauti- 

 fully printed octavo volume of 730 large pages. Extra cloth, $5 00; leather, $6 00. 



We have, therefore, great satisfaction in bringing 

 under our readers' notice the matured views of the 

 highest American authority in the department to 

 which he has devoted his life and talents. They com- 

 prise not only the "fruit of many years of painful toil 

 in the acquisition of clinical experience and know- 

 ledge," but they contain also the evidences of an 

 extended acquaintance with . European medical lite- 

 rature, both continental and British. This feature, 



together with the elevation of tone and eloquence in 

 style often exhibited by the author, constitute uo 

 slight merit in works on the subjects with which the 

 author is here occupied. London Med. Gazette. 



We have made a somewhat careful examination of 

 this new edition of the Science and the Art of Obstet- 

 rics, and are satisfied that there is no better or more 

 useful guide to the educated practitioner. New Or-

CHURCHILL (FLEETWOOD), M.D., M.R.LA. 

 ON THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF MIDWIFERY. A new 



American from the fourth revised and enlarged London edition. With notes and additions 

 by D. FRANCIS CONDIE, M. D., author of a "Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Chil- 

 dren,' 1 &c. With one hundred and ninety-four illustrations. In one very handsome octavo 

 volume of nearly 700 large pages. Extra cloth, $4 00 ; leather, $5 00. 



In adapting this standard favorite to the wants of the profession in the United States, the editor 

 has endeavored to insert everything that his experience has shown him would be desirable for the 

 American student, including a large number of illustrations. With the sanction of the author, 

 he has added, in the form of an appendix, some chapters from a little "Manual for Midwives and 

 Nurses," recently issued by Dr. Churchill, believing that the details there presented can hardly 

 fail to prove of advantage to the junior practitioner. The result of all these additions is that the 

 work now contains fully one-half more matter than the last American edition, with nearly one- 

 half more illustrations ; so that, notwithstanding the use of a smaller type, the volume contains 

 almost two hundred pages more than before. 



No effort has been spared to secure an improvement in the mechanical execution of the work 

 equal to that which the text has received, and the volume is confidently presented as one of the 

 handsomest that has thus far been laid before the American profession ; while the very low price 

 at which it is offered should secure for it a place in every lecture-room and on every office table. 



These additions render the work still more com- 

 plete and acceptable than ever; and with the excel- 

 lent style in which the publishers have presented 

 this edition of Churchill, we can commend it to the 

 profession with great cordiality and pleasure. Cin- 

 cinnati Lancet. 



Few works on this branch of medical science are 

 equal to it, certainly none excel it, whether in regard 

 to theory or practice, and in one respect it is superior 

 to all others, viz., in its statistical information, and 

 therefore, on these grounds a most valuable work for 

 the physician, student, or lecturer, all of whom will 

 find in it the information which they are seeking. 

 Brit. Am. Journal. 



The present treatise is very much enlarged and 

 amplified beyond the previous editions, but" 



has been added which could be well dispensed with. 

 An examination of the table of contents shows how 

 thoroughly the author has gone over the ground, and 

 the care he has taken in the text to present the sub- 

 jects in all their bearings, will render this new edition 

 even more necessary to the obstetric student than 

 were either of the former editions at the date of their 

 appearance. No treatise on obstetric* with which we 

 are acquainted can compare favorably with this, in 

 respect to the amount of material which has been 

 gathered from every source. Boston Med. and Surg. 

 Journal. 



There is no better text-book for students, or work 

 of reference and study for the practising physician 

 than this. It' should adorn and enrich every medical 

 library. Chicago Med. Journal.
