RAMSBOTHAM (FRANCIS H .), M.D. 

 THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETRIC MEDICINE 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. In one large and handsome 

 imperial octavo volume, of 050 pages, with sixty-four beautiful Plates, and numerous Wood-cuts 

 in the text, containing in all nearly two hundred large and beautiful figures. (Now Ready.) 

 In calling the attention of the profession to the new edition of this standard work, the publishers 

 would remark that no efforts have been spared to secure for it a continuance and extension of the 

 remarkable favor with which it has been received. The last London issue, which was considera- 

 bly enlarged, has received a further revision from the author, especially for this country. Its pas- 

 sage through the press here has been supervised by Dr. Keating, who has made numerous addi- 

 tions with a view of presenting more fully whatever was necessary to adapt it thoroughly to 

 American modes of practice. In its mechanical execution, n like superiority over former editions 

 will be found. The plates have all been re-engraved in a new and beautiful style ; many additional 

 illustrations have been introduced, and in every point of typographical finish it will be found one of 

 the handsomest issues of the American press. In its present improved and enlarged form the pub- 

 lishers therefore confidently ask for it a place in every medical library, as a text-book for the student, 

 or a manual for daily reference by the practitioner. 



From Prof. Hodge, of the University of Pa. 



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.
