PARVIN, THEQPHILTJS, M. D., LL. D., 



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

 The Science and Art of Obstetrics. New (2d) edition. In one handsome 

 3vo. volume of 701 pages, with 239 engravings and a colored plate. Cloth, $4.25 ; leather, 

 $5.25. Just ready. 



The second edition of this work is fully up to the 

 present state of advancement of the obstetric art. 

 The author has succeeded exceedingly well in 

 incorporating new matter without apparently in- 

 creasing the size of his work or interfering with 

 the smoothness and grace of its literary construc- 

 tion. He is very felicitous in his descriptions of 



conditions, and proves himself in this respect a 

 scholar and a master. Rarely in the range of 



obstetric literature can be found a work which is 

 so comprehensive and yet compact and practical. 

 In such respect it is essentially a text book of the 

 first merit. The treatment of the subjects gives a 

 real value to the work the individualities of a 

 practical teacher, a skilful obstetrician, a close 

 thinker and a ripe scholar. Medical Record, Jan. 

 17, 1891. 



PLAYFAIR, W. 8., M. D., F. M. C. P.,

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



American, from the seventh English edition. Edited, with additions, by ROBERT P. HAB- 

 BIS, M. D. In one handsome octavo volume of 664 pages, with 207 engravings and 5 

 plates. Cloth, $4.00 ; leather, $5.00. Just ready. 



Truly a wonderful book ; an epitome of all ob- 

 stetrical knowledge, full, clear and concise. In 

 thirteen years it has reached seven editions. It 



is perhaps the most popular work of its kind ever 

 presented to the profession. Beginning with the 

 anatomy and physiology of the organs concerned, 

 nothing is left unwritten that the practical ac- 

 coucheur should know. It seems that every 

 conceivable physiological or pathological condi- 



tion from the moment of conception to the time 

 of complete involution has had the author's 

 patient attention. The plates and illustration?, 

 carefully studied, will teach the science of mid- 



wifery. The reader of this book will have before 

 him the very latest and best of obstetric practice, 

 and also of all the coincident troubles connected 

 therewith. Southern Practitioner, Dec., 1889. 



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



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

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



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

 volume of 432 pages, with 140 illustrations. Cloth, $2.50. 



Dr. King, in the preface to the first edition of 

 this manual, modestly states that "its purpose is 

 to furnish a good groundwork to the student at 

 the beginning of his obstetric studies." Its pur- 

 pose is attained ; it will furnish a good ground- 

 work to the student who carefully reads it; and 

 further, the busy practitioner should not scorn the 

 volume because written for students, as it con- 

 tains much valuable obstetric knowledge, some 

 of which is not found in more elaborate text- 



books. The chapters on the anatomy of the 

 female generative organs, menstruation, fecunda- 

 tion, the signs of pregnancy, and the diseases of 

 pregnancy, are all excellent and clear; but it is in 



the description of labor, both normal and abnor- 

 mal, that Dr. King is at his best. Here his style 

 is so concise, anal the illustrations are so good, 

 that the veriest tyro could not fail to receive a clear 

 conception of labor, its complications and treat- 

 ment. Of the 141 illustrations it may be safely 

 said that they all illuKlrate, and that the engraver's 

 work is excellent. The name of the publishers 



is a sufficient guarantee that the work is pre- 

 sented in an attractive form, and from every 



, 



standpoint we can most heartily recommend the 

 book both to practitioner and student. The Medi- 

 cal News, Dec. 7, 1889.

The immediate purpose of the 

 handbook of obstetric medic 



work is to furnish 

 medicine and surgery 

 for the use of the student and practitioner. It id 

 not an exaggeration to say of the book that it is 

 the best treatise in the English language yet 

 published, and this will not be a surprise to those 

 who are acquainted with the work of the elder 

 Barnes. Every practitioner who desires to have
