FROM THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 



" [n this edition I have endeavored to amend the work by changes in its form ; by careful cor- 

 rections of many expressions, and by a few omissions and some additions as to the text. 



"The Student will find that I have recast the article on Placenta Praevia, which I was led to do 

 out of my desire to notice certain new modes of treatment which I regarded as not only ill founded 

 as to the philosophy of our department, but dangerous to the people. 



" In changing the form of my work by dividing it into paragraphs or sections, numbered from 1 

 to 959, 1 thought to present to the reader a common-plnce book of the whole volume. Such a table 

 of contents ought to prove both convenient and useful to a Student while attending public lectures." 



A work which has enjoyed so extensive a reputation and has been received with such general 

 favor, requires only the assurance that the author has labored assiduously to embody in his new 

 edition whatever has been found necessary to render it fully on a level with the most advanced 

 state of the subject. Both as a text-book for the student and as a reliable work of reference for 

 the practitioner, it is therefore to be hoped that the volume will be found worthy a continuance of 

 the confidence reposed in previous editions.
