In this new edition, .. .not merely is the practical treatment of Labor, and also of the Dis- 

 eases an.d Accidents of Pregnancy, well and clearly taught, but the anatomical machinery 

 of parturition is more effectively explained than in any other treatise that we remember; 

 besides this, the book is honorably distinguished among manuals of Midwifery by the ful- 

 ness with which it goes into the subject of the structure and development of the ovum. On 

 all questions of treatment, whether by medicines, by hygienic regimen, or by mechanical or 

 operative appliances, this treatise is as satisfactory as a work of manual size could be ; students 

 and practitioners can hardly do better than adopt it as their vade-mecum. The Practitioner. 



Upwards of ninety new engravings have been inserted in this edition, and, with a view to 

 facilitate reference, the author has furnished it with a very full and complete table of contents 

 and inlex. We can cordially recommend this manual as accurate and practical, and as con- 

 taining in a small compass a large amount of the kind of information suitable alike to the 

 student and practitioner. London Lancet.

The systematic arrangement of subjects, and the concise, practical style in which it is 

 written, make the work especially valuable as a student's manual, while a very full table
