A SYSTEM OF MIDWIFERY, INCLUDING THE DISEASES OF 



PREGNANCY AND THE PUERPERAL STATE. In one large and very handsome oc- 

 tavo volume of over 700 pages, with one hundred and eighty-two illustrations. Cloth, 

 $5 00 ; leather, $6 00. (Lately Published.) 



This is one of a most complete and exhaustive cha- 

 racter. We have gone carefully through it, and there 

 Is no subject in Obstetrics which ha> not- been con- 

 sidered well and fully. The result is a work, not 

 only admirable as a text-book, but valuable as a work 

 of reference to the practitioner in the various emer- 

 gencies of obstetric practice. Take it all in all, we 

 have no hesitation in saying that it is in our judgment 

 the best English work on the subject. London Lan- 

 cet, Aug. 23, 1873. 



The work of Leishman gives an excellent view of 

 modern midwifery, and evinces its author's extensive 

 acquaintance with British and foreign literature ; and 

 not only acquaintance with it, but wholesome diges- 

 tion and sound judgment of it. He has, withal, a 

 manly, free style, and can state a difficult and Compli- 

 cated matter with remarkable clearness and brevity. 

 Kdin. Med. Journ., Sept. 1873. 



The author has succeeded in presenting to the pro- 

 fession an admirable treatise, especially in its practi- 

 cal aspects ; one which is, iu general, clearly written, 

 and sound in doctrine, and one which cannot fail to 

 add to his already high reputation. In concluding 

 our examination of this work, we cannot avoid again 

 saying that Dr. Leishman has fully accomplished 

 that difficult task of presenting a good text-book upon 

 obstetrics. We know none better for the use of the stu- 

 dent or junior practitioner. Am. Practitioner, Mar. 

 1874. 



It proposes to offer to practitioners and students 



"A Complete System of the Midwifery of the Present 

 Day," and well redeems the promise. In all that 

 relates to the subject of labor, the teaching is admi- 

 rably clear, concise, and practical, representing not 

 alone British practice, but the contributions of Con- 

 tinental and American schools. N. T. Med. Record, 

 March 2, 1874. 



The work of Dr. Leishman is, in many respects, 

 not only the best treatise on midwifery that we have 

 seen, but one of the best treatises on any medical sub- 

 ject that has been published of late years. Lond. 

 Practitioner, Feb. 187-4. 



It was written to supply a desideratum, and we will 

 be much surprised if it does not fulfil the purpose of 

 its author. Taking it as a whole, we know of no 

 work on obstetrics by an English author in which the 

 student and the practitioner will find the information 

 so clear and so completely abreast of the present state 

 of our knowledge on the subject. Glasgow Med. 

 Journ., Aug. 1873. 



Dr. Leishman's System of Midwifery, which has 

 only just been published, will go far to supply the 

 want which has so long been felt, of a really good 

 modern English text-book. Although large, as is in- 

 evitable in a work on so extensive a subject, it is so 

 well and clearly written, that it is never wearisome 

 to read. Dr. Leishman's work may be confidently 

 recommended as an admirable text-book, and is sure 

 to be largely used. Lond. Med. Record, Sept. 1873. 



ffAMSBOTHAM (FRANCIS H.), M.D. 



THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETRIC MEDI- 

 CINE AND SURGERY, in reference to the Process of Parturition. A new and enlarged 

 edition, thoroughly revised by the author. With additions by W. V. KEATING, M. D., 

 Professor of Obstetrics, &c., in the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. In one large 

 and handsome imperial octavo volume of 650 pages, strongly bound in leather, with raised 

 bands ; with sixty-four beautiful plates, and numerous wood-cuts in the text, containing in 

 all nearly 200 large and beautiful figures. $7 00. 



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. 

 Stethoscope. 



The character and merits of Dr. Ramsbotham's 

 work are so well known 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 Surg. 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 the Med. 

 Sciences. 



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



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," <fcc. With one hundred and ninety-four illustrations. In one very handsome octavo 

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



These additions render the work still more com- 

 plete and acceptable than ever ; and we can com- 

 mend it to the profession with great cordiality and 

 pleasure. Qinnnnati Lancet. 



Few work? on this branch of medical science are 

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

 to theory or practice Brit. Am. Journal. 



No treatise on obstetrics with which we are ac- 



quainted can compare favorably with this, in re' 

 spect to the amount of material which has been gath- 

 ered from every source. Boston Med. and Siirg 

 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.
