CHURCHILL (FLEETWOOD), M. D., M. R. I. A. 

 ON THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF MIDWIFERY. A new American, 



from the last and improved English edition. Edited, with Notes and Additions, by D. FRANCIS 

 CONDIE, M. D., author of a "Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Children," &c. With 139 

 illustrations. In one very handsome octavo volume, pp. 510. (Lately Issued.} 



To bestow praise on a book that has received such 

 marked approbation would be superfluous. We need 

 only say, therefore, that if the first edition was 

 thought worthy of a favorable reception by the 

 medical public, we can confidently affirm that this 

 wiii be found much more so. The lecturer, $he 

 practitioner, and the student, may all have recourse 

 to its pages, and derive from their perusal much in- 

 terest and instruction in everything relating to theo- 

 retical and practical midwifery. Dublin quarterly 

 Journal of Medical Science. 



A. work of very great merit, and such as we can 

 confidently recommend to the study of every obste- 

 tric practitioner. London Medical Gazette. 



This is certainly the most perfect system extant. 

 t is the best adapted for the purposes of a text- 

 book, and that which he whose necessities confine 

 him to one book, should select in preference to all 

 others. Southern Medical and Surgical Journal. 



The most popular work on midwifery ever issued 

 from the American pres. Charleston Med. Journal. 



Were we reduced to the necessity of having but 

 ene work on midwifery, and permitted to choose, 

 we would unhesitatingly take Churchill. Western

It is impossible to conceive a more useful aad 

 elegant manual than Dr. Churchill's Practice of 

 Midwifery. Provincial Medical Journal. 



Certainly, in our opinion, the very best work on 

 the subject which exists. 2V. Y. Annalist. 



No work holds a higher position, or is more de- 

 serving of being placed in the hands of the tyro,

Previous editions, under the editorial supervisioa 

 of Prof R. M. Huston, have been received with 

 marked favor, and they deserved it; but this, re- 

 printed from a very late Dublin edition, carefully 

 revised and brought up by the author to the present 

 time, does present an unusually accurate and able 

 exposition of every important particular embraced 

 in the department of midwifery. * * The clearness, 

 directness, and precision of its teachings, together 

 with the great amount of statistical research which 

 its text exhibits, have served to place it already ia 

 the foremost rank of works in this department of re- 

 medial science. N. O. Med. and Surg. Journal. 



In our opinion, it forms one of the best if not th 

 very best text-book and epitome of obstetric science 

 which we at present possess in the English lan- 

 guage. Monthly Journal of Medical Science. 



The clearness and precision of style in which it is 

 written, and the great amount of statistical research 

 which it contains, have served to place it in the first 

 rank of works in this department of medical science.

Few treatises will be found better adapted a a. 

 text-book for the student, or as a manual for the 

 frequent consultation of the young practitioner.

ON THE DISEASES OF INFANTS AND CHILDREN. 



handsome volume of over 600 pages.

We regard this volume as possessing more claims 

 to completeness than any other of the kind with 

 which we are acquainted. Most cordially and earn- 

 estly, therefore, do we commend it to our profession- 

 al brethren, and we feel assured that the stamp of 

 Cheir approbation will in due time be impressed upon 

 it. After an attentive perusal of its contents, we 

 hesitate not to say, that it is one of the most com- 

 prehensive ever written upon the diseases of chil- 

 dren, and that, for copiousness of reference, extent of 

 research, and perspicuity of detail, it is scarcely to 

 he equalled, and not to be excelled, ia any lan- 

 guage. Dublin Quarterly Journal. 



After this meagre, and we know, very imperfect 

 aotice of Dr. Churchill's work, we shall conclude 

 by saying, that it is one that cannot fail from its co- 

 piousness, extensive research, and general accuracy, 

 to exalt still higher the reputation of the author in 

 this country. The American reader will be particu- 

 larly pleased to find that Dr. Churchill has done full 

 justice throughout his work to the various American 

 authors on this subject. The names of Dewees, 

 Eberle, Condie, and Stewart, occur on nearly every 

 page, and these authors are constantly referred to Ivy 

 the author in terms of the highest praise, and with 

 the most liberal courtesy. The Medical Examiner. 



The present volume will sustain the reputation 

 acquired by the author from his previous works. 

 The reader will find in it full and judicious direc- 

 tions for the management of infants at birth, and a. 

 compendious, but clear account of the diseases to 

 which children are liable, and the most successful 

 mode of treating them. We must not close this no- 

 tice without calling attention to the author's style, 

 which is perspicuous and polished to a degree, we 

 regret to say, not generally characteristic of medical 

 works. "VVe recommend the work of Dr. Churchill 

 most cordially, both to students and practitioners, 

 as a valuable and reliable guide in the treatment of 

 the diseases of children. Am. Journ. of the Med. 

 Sciences. 



We know of no work on this department of Prac- 

 tical Medicine which presents so candid and unpre- 

 judiced a statement or posting up of our actual 

 knowledge as this. 2V. Y. Journal of Medicine. 



Its claims to merit both as a scientific and practi- 

 cal work, are of the highest order. Whilst we 

 would not elevate it above every other treatise on 

 the same subject, we certainly believe that very few 

 are equal to it, and none superior. Southern Med. 

 and Surgical Journal.
