Author of a " Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Children," &c. 

 l**ITH OJTJE HUNDRED ^JTD THIRTJP-JYIJYJE IJLLUSTRJLTIOJVS. 



In one very handsome octavo volume. 



In the preparation of the last English edition, from which this is printed, the author has spared 

 no pains, with the desire of bringing it thoroughly up to the present state of obstetric science. 

 The labors of the editor have thus been light, but he has endeavored to supply whatever he has 

 thought necessary to the work, either as respects obstetrical practice in this country, or its 

 progress in Europe since the appearance of Dr. Churchill's last edition. Most of the notes of the 

 former editor, Dr. Huston, have been retained by him, where they have not been embodied by the 

 author in his text. The present edition of the favorite text-book is therefore presented to the pro- 

 fession in the full confidence of its meriting a continuance of the great reputation which it has 

 acquired as a work equally well fitted for the student and practitioner. 



To bestow praise on a hook 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 pub- 

 lic, we can confidently affirm that this will be found much more so. The lecturer, the practitioner, and the 

 student, may all have recourse to its pages, and derive from their perusal much interest and instruction in 

 everything relating to theoretical 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 obstetric 

 practitioner. London Medical Gazette. 



This is certainly the most perfect system extant. It is the be?t 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 press Charleston Medical Journal. 



Certainly, in our opinion, the very best work on the subject which exists. 2V. Y. Annalist. 



Were we reduced to the necessity of havingbut one work on Midwifery, and permitted to choose, we would 

 unhesitatingly take Churchill. Western Medical and Surgical Journal. 



It is impossible to conceive a more useful and elegant Manual than Dr. Churchill's Practice of Midwifery. 

 Provincial Medical Journal. 



No work holds a higher position, or is more deserving of being placed in the handsof the tyro, the advanced 

 student, or the practitioner. Medical Examiner.

THE PRINCIPLES~AND PRACTICE OP 



OBSTETRIC MEDICINE AND SURGERY, 



In reference to the Process of Parturition, 

 BY FRANCIS H. KAMSBOTHAM, M. D., 



Physician to the Royal Maternity Charity, &c. &c. 

 SIXTH AMERICAN FROM THE LAST LONDON EDITION. 



Illustrated with One Hundred and Forty-eight Figures on Fifty-five Lithographic Plates. 

 In one large and handsomely printed volume, imperial octavo, with 520 pages. 



In this edition the plates have all been redrawn, and the text carefully read and corrected. It 

 is therefore presented as in every way worthy the favor with which it has so long been received. 



From Professor Hodge, of the University of Pennsylvania. 



To the American public, it is most valuable, from its intrinsic undoubted excellence, and as being the best 

 authorized exponent of British Midwifery. Its circulation will, I trust, be extensive throughout our country. 



We recommend the student, who desires to master this difficult subject with the least possible trouble, to 

 possess himself at once of a copy of this work. American Journal of the Medical Sciences. 



It stands at the head of the long list of excellent obstetric works published in the last few years in Great 

 Britain, Ireland, and the Continent of Europe. We consider this book indispensable to the library of every 

 physician engaged in the practice of Midwifery. Southern Medical and Surgical Journal. 



When the whole profession is thus unanimous in placing such a work in the very first rank as regards the 

 extent and correctness of all the details of the theory and practice of so important a branch of learning, our 

 commendation or condemnation would be of little consequence; but, regard ing it as the most useful of all works 

 of the kind, we think it but an act of justice to urge its claims upon the profession. JY. O. Med. Journal.
