OBSTETRICS: 



THE SCIENCE AND THE ART. 



BY CHARLES LX MEIGS, M.D., 



Professor of Midwifery and the Diseases of Women and Children in the Jefferson Medical College, 



Philadelphia, &c.&c. 



With One Hundred and Twenty Illustrations. 

 In one beautifully printed octavo volume, of six hundred and eighty large pages. 



As an elementary treatise concise, but, withal, clear and comprphensive we know of no one better 

 adapted for the use of the student; while the young practitioner will find in it a body of sound doctrine, 

 and a series of excellent practical directions, adapted to all the conditions of the various forms of labor 

 and their results, which he will be induced, we are persuaded, again and again to consult, and always with 

 profit. 



It has seldom been our lot to peruse a work upon the subject, from which we have received greater satis- 

 faction, and which we believe to be better calculated to communicate to the student correct and definite 

 views upon the several topics embraced within the scope of its teachings. American Journal of the Medical 

 Sciences. 



We are acquainted with no work on midwifery of greater practical value. Boston Medical and Surgical 

 Journal. 



Worthy the reputation of its distinguished author. Medical Examiner. 



We most sincerely recommend it, both to the student and practitioner, as a more complete and valuable 

 work on the Science and Art of Midwifery, than any of the numerous reprints and American editions of 

 European works on the same subject. N. Y. Annalist. 



We have, therefore, great satisfaction in bringing under our reader's notice the matured views of the 

 highest American authority in the department to which he has devoted his life and talents. London Medical 

 Gazette. 



An author of established merit, a professor of Midwifery, and a practitioner of high reputation and immense 

 experience we may assuredly regard his work now before us as representing the most advanced state of 

 obstetric science in America up to the time at which he writes. We consider Dr. Meigs' book as a valuable 

 acquisition to obstetric literature, and one that will very much assist the practitioner under many circum- 

 stances of doubt and perplexity. The Dublin Quarterly Journal. 



These various heads are subdivided so well, so lucidly explained, that a good memory is all that is neces- 

 sary in order to put the reader in possession of a thorough knowledge of this important subject. Dr. Meigs 

 has conferred a great benefit on the profession in publishing this excellent work. St. Louis Medical and 

 Surgical Journal. 



No reader will lay the volume down without admiration for the learning and talents of the author. An abler 

 volume, on the whole, we do hot hope soon to see. Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 



A safe and efficient guide to the delicate and ofttimes difficult duties which devolve upon the obstetrician. 

 Ohio Medical and Surgical Journal. 



One of the very best treatises on this subject, and worthy of being placed in the library of every American 

 physician. Northwestern Medical and Surgical Journal. 



He has an earnest way with him when speaking of the most elementary subjects which fixes the attention 

 and adds much value to the work as a text-book for students. British and Foreign Medico- Chirurgical 

 Review. 



TYLER SMITH ON PARTURITION. 



ON PARTURITION, 



AND THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF DDSTETRICS. 



BY W. TYLEK, SMITH, M. D., 



Lecturer on Obstetrics in the Hunterian School of Medicine, &c. &c. 

 In one large duodecimo volume, o-f 400 pages. 



The work will recommend itself by its intrinsic merit to every member of the profession. Lancet. 



We can imagine the pleasure with which William Hunter or Denman would have welcomed the present 

 work; certainly the most valuable contribution to obstetrics that has been made since their own day. For 

 ourselves, we consider its appearance as the dawn of a new era in this department of medicine. We do 

 most cordially recommend the work as one absolutely necessary to be studied by every accoucheur. It will, 

 we may add. prove equally interesting and instructive to the student, the general practitioner, and pure ob- 

 stetrician. It was a bold undertaking to reclaim parturition for Reflex Physiology, and it has been well per- 

 formed. London Journal of Medicine.
