PARVIN, THEOP3LILVS, M. D., LL. D., 



Prof, of Obstetrics and the Diseases of Women and Children in Jefferson Med. Coll., Phila. 



The Science and Art of Obstetrics. In one handsome 8vo. volume of 697 

 pages, with 214 engravings and a colored plate. Cloth, $4.25 ; leather, $5.25. 



It is a ripe harvest that Dr. Parvin offers to his 

 readers. There is no book that can be more safely 

 recommended to the student or that can be turned 

 to in moments of doubt with greater assurance of 

 aid, as it is a liberal digest of safe counsel that has 

 been patiently gathered. The American Journal 

 of the Medical Sciences, July, 1887. 



There is not in the language a treatise on the 

 subject which so completely and intelligently 

 gleans the whole field of obstetric literature, giv- 

 ing the reader the winnowed wheat in concise and 

 well-jointed phrase, in language of exceptional 

 purity and strength. The arrangement of the 

 matter of this work is unique and exceedingly 



favorable for an agreeable unfolding of the science 

 and art of obstetrics. This new book is the easy 

 superior of any single work among its predeces- 

 sors for the student or practitioner seeking the 

 best thought of the day in this department of 

 medicine. The American Practitioner and News, 

 April 2, 1887. 



This treatise may be denned as exact, concise 

 and scholarly. Parvin's distinguished position as 

 a teacher, his scholarly attainments, and his 

 honest endeavor to do his best by both the student 

 and the physician, will secure for his treatise 

 favorable recognition. American Journal of Obstet- 

 rics, May, 1887. 



BARNES, ROBERT, M . D., and FANCOTJRT, M. D., 



Phys. to the General Lying-in Hosp., Lond. Obstetric Phi/s. to St. Thomas' Hosp., Lond. 



A System of Obstetric Medicine and Surgery, Theoretical and Clin- 

 ical. For the Student and the Practitioner. The Section on Embryology contributed by 

 Prof. Milnes Marshall. In one handsome octavo volume of 872 pages, with 231 illus- 

 trations. Cloth, $5 ; leather, $6. 



This system will be eagerly sought for, not only | ble teacher and trusted accoucheur, should embody 

 on account of its intrinsic merit, but also because j within a single treatise the system which he has 

 the reputation which the elder Barnes, in particu- taught and in practice tested, and which is the out- 

 lar, has secured, carries with it the conviction that come of a lifetime of earnest labor, careful obser- 

 any book emanating from him is necessarily sound vation and deep study. The result of this arrange- 

 in teaching and conservative in practice. It is in- ] ment is the prod uctionot awork which rises above 

 deed eminently fitting that a man who has done so | criticism and which in no respect need yield the 

 much towards systematizing the obstetric art, who | palm to any obstetrical treatise hitherto published, 

 for so many years has been widely known as acapa- j American Journal of Obstetrics, Feb. 1886. 



PLAYFAIR, W. S., M. D., F. R. C. P., 



Professor of Obstetric Medicine in King's College, London, etc. 



A Treatise on the Science and Practice of Midwifery. New (fourth) 

 American, from the fifth English edition. Edited, with additions, by EGBERT P. HAR- 

 RIS, M. D. In one handsome octavo volume of 654 pages, with 3 plates and 201 engrav- 

 ings. Cloth, $4 ; leather, $5 ; half Russia, $5.50. 



This still remains a favorite in America, not 

 only because the author is recognized as a safe 

 guide and eminently progressive man, but also as 

 sparing no effort 'to make each successive edition 

 a faithful mirror of the latest and best practice. 

 A work so frequently noticed as the present 

 requires no further re'view. We believe that this 

 edition is simply the forerunner of many others, 

 and that the demand will keep pace with the 



supply. American Journal of Obstetrics, Nov. 1885. 

 Since its first publication, only eight years ago, 

 it has rapidly become the favorite text-book, to 

 the practical exclusion of all others. A large 

 measure of its popularity is due to the clear and 

 easy style in which it is written. Few text-books 

 for students have very much to boast of in this 

 respect. Medical Record. 



KING, A. F. A., M. D., 



Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women m the Medical Department of the Columbian Univer- 

 sity, Washington, D. C., and in the University of Vermont, etc. 



A Manual of Obstetrics. New (third) edition. In one very handsome 12mo. 

 volume of 376 pages, with 102 illustrations. Cloth, $2.25. 



This little manual, certainly the best of its kind, 

 fully deserves the popularity which has made a 

 third edition necessary. Clear, practical, concise, 

 its teachings are so fully abreast with recent ad- 

 vances in obstetric science that but few points 

 can be criticised. American Journal of Obstetrics, 

 March, 1887. 



This volume deserves commendation. It is not 



bulky it is concise. The chapters are divided with 

 sub-heading?, which aid materially in the finding 

 of any particular subject, and the definitions are 

 clear and explicit. It fulfils its purpose admirably, 

 and we know of no better work to place in the stu- 

 dent's hands. The illustrations are good. Arch- 

 ives of Gynecology, January, 1887.
