THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETRICS. Illus- 

 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 a 

 simple' 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, a cyclo- 

 paedia 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- 

 ried pictorial illustrations, so that no fact or principle 

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

 Sept. 8, 1864. 



We should like to analyze the remainder of this 

 excellent work, but already has this review extended 

 beyond our limited space. We cannot conclude this 

 aotice without referring to the excellent finish of the 

 work. In typography it is not to be excelled ; the 

 paper is superior to what is usually afforded by our 

 American cousins, quite equal to the best of English 



books. The engravings and lithographs are most j t 



beautifully executed. ^ The Work recommends itself instructive, and in the main, we believe" correct. "The 



great attention which the author has devoted to the 



for its originality, and is in every way a most valu- 

 able addition to those on the subject of obstetrics.-- 

 Canada Med. Jorirnal, Oct. 1864. 

 It is very large, profusely and elegantly illustrated, 



We have examined Professor Hodge's work with 

 great satisfaction ; every topic is elaborated most 

 fully. The views of the author are comprehensive, 

 and concisely stated. The rules of practice are judi- 

 cious, and will enable the practitioner to meet every 

 emergency of obstetric complication with confidence. 

 Chicago Med. Journal, Aug. 1864. 



More time than we have had at our disposal since 

 we received the great work of Dr. Hodge is necessary 

 to do it justice. It is undoubtedly by far the most 

 original, complete, and carefully composed treatise 

 on the principles and practice of Obstetrics which has 

 ever been issued from the American press. Pacific 

 Med. and Surg. Journal, July, 1864. 



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

 sure, and have much satisfaction in expressing our 

 commendation of it as a whole. It is certainly highly

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

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



and is fitted to take its place near the works of great ; doctrines of Naegele have been too blindly received.

 ON THE SIGNS AND DISEASES OF PREGNANCY. First American 



from the Second and Enlarged English Edition. With four colored plates and illustrations 

 on wood. In one handsome octavo volume of about 500 pages, cloth, $4 25. 



The very thorough revision the work has undergone 

 has added greatly to its practical value, and increased 

 materially its efficiency as a guide to the student and 

 to the young practitioner. Am. Journ. Med. Sci., 

 April, 1868. 



With the immense variety of subjects treated of 

 and the ground which they are made to cover, the im- 

 possibility of giving an extended review of this truly 

 remarkable work must be apparent. We have not a 

 single fault to find with it, and most heartily com- 

 mend it to the careful study of every physician who 

 would not only always be" sure of his diagnosis of 



pregnancy, but always ready to treat all the nume- 

 rous ailments that are, unfortunately for the civilized 

 women of to-day, so commonly associated with the 

 function.^. T. Med. Record, March 1U, 1S68.

 London Edition, with Additions by E. R. HUTCHINS, M. D. With Illustrations. In one

It is really a capital little compendium of the sub- answers the purpose. It is not only valuable for 



ject, and we recommend young practitioners to buy it 

 and carry it with them when called to attend cases of 

 labor. They can while away the otherwise tedious 

 hours of waiting, and thoroughly fix in their memo- 

 ries the most important practical suggestions it con- 

 tains. The American editor has materially added by 

 his notes and the concluding chapters to the com- 

 pleteness and general value of the book. Chicago 

 Med. Journal, Feb. 1870. 



The manual before us containsin exceedingly small 

 compass small enough to carry in the pocket about 

 all there is of obstetrics, condensed into a nutshell of 

 Aphorisms. The illustrations are well selected, and 

 serve as excellent reminders of the conduct of labor 

 regular and difficult. Cincinnati Lancet, April, '70. 



TMs is a mostadmirable little work, and completely 



young beginners, but no one who is not a proficient 

 in the art of obstetrics should be without it, because 

 it condenses all that is necessary to know for ordi- 

 nary midwifery practice. We commend the book 

 most favorably. St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal, 

 Sept. 10, 1870. 



A studied perusal of this little book has satisfied 

 us of its eminently practical value. The object of the 

 work, the author says, in his preface, is to give the 

 student a few brief and practical directions respect- 

 ing the management of ordinary cases of labor ; and 

 also to point out to him in extraordinary cases when 

 and how he may act upon his own responsibility, and 

 when he ought to send for assistance.^. Y. Medical 

 Journal, May, 1870.
