THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETRICS. Illus- 

 trated with large lithographic plates containing one hundred and fifty-nine figures from 

 original photographs, and with numerous wood-cuts. In one large and beautifully printed 

 quarto volume of 550 double-columned pages, strongly bound in extra cloth, $14. (Lately 

 publislied. ) 



The work of Dr. Hodge is something more than a 

 simple presentation of his particular views in the de- 

 partment of Obstetrics ; it is something more than an 

 ordinary treatise on midwifery ; it is, in fact, a cyclo- 

 paedia of midwifery. He has aimed to embody in a 

 single volume the whole science and art of Obstetrics. 

 An elaborate text is combined with accurate and va- 

 ried pictorial illustrations, so that no fact or principle 

 is left unstated or unexplained. Am. Med. Times, 

 Sept. 3, 1864. 



We should like to analyze the remainder of this 

 excellent work, but already has this review extended 

 beyond our limited space. We cannot conclude this 

 notice without referring to the excellent finish of the 

 work. In typography it is not to be excelled ; the 

 paper is superior to what is usually afforded by our 

 American cousins, quite equal to the best of English 

 books. The engravings and lithographs are most 

 beautifully executed. The work recommends itself 

 for its originality, and is in every way a most valu- 

 able addition to those on the subject of obstetrics. 

 Canada Med. Journal, Oct. 1864. 



It is very large, profusely and elegantly illustrated, 

 and is fitted to take its place near the works of great 

 obstetricians. Of the American works on the subject 



We have examined Professor Hodge's work with 

 great satisfaction ; every topic is elaborated most 

 fully. The views of the author are comprehensive, 

 and concisely stated. The rules of practice are judi- 

 cious, and will enable the practitioner to meet every 

 emergency of obstetric complication with confidence. 

 Chicago Med. Journal, Aug. 1864. 



More time than we have had at our disposal since 

 we received the great work of Dr. Hodge is necessary 

 to do it justice. It is undoubtedly by far the most 

 original, complete, and carefully composed treatise 

 on the principles and practice of Obstetrics which has 

 ever been issued from the American press. Pacific 

 Med. and Surg. Journal, July, 1864. 



We have read Dr. Hodge's book with great plea- 

 sure, and have much satisfaction in expressing our 

 commendation of it as a whole. It is certainly highly 

 instructive, and in the main, we believe, correct. The 

 great attention which the author has devoted to the 

 mechanism of parturition, taken along with the con- 

 clusions at which he has arrived, point, we think, 

 conclusively to the fact that, in Britain at least, the 

 doctrines of Naegele have been too blindly received.

it is decidedly the best. Edirib. Med. Jour., Dec. '64.

BANNER (THOMAS H.), M. D., 



ON THE SIGNS AND DISEASES OF PREGNANCY. First American 



from the Second and Enlarged English Edition. With four colored plates and illustrations 

 on wood. In one handsome octavo volume of about 500 pages, extra cloth, $4 25. (Just 

 Issued.) 



The very thorough revision the work has undergone 

 has added greatly to its practical value, and increased 

 materially its efficiency as a guide to the student and 

 to the young practitioner. Am. Journ. Med. Sci., 

 April, 1S68. 



With the immense variety of subjects treated of 

 and the ground which they are made to cover, the im- 

 possibility of giving an extended review of this truly 

 remarkable work must be apparent. We have not a 

 single fault to find with it, and most heartily com- 

 mend it to the careful study of every physician who 

 would not only always be sure of his diagnosis of 

 pregnancy, but always ready to treat all the nume- 

 rous ailments that are, unfortunately for the civilized 

 women of to-day, so commonly associated with the 

 function. N. Y. Med. Record, March 16, 1868. 



We have much pleasure in %alling the attention of 

 our readers to the volume produced by Dr. Tanner, 

 the second edition of a work that was, in its original 



state even, acceptable to the profession. We recom- 

 mend obstetrical students, young and old, to have 

 this volume in their collections. It coatains not only 

 a fair statement of the signs, symptoms, and diseases 

 of pregnancy, but comprises in addition much inter- 

 esting relative matter that is not to be found in any 

 other work that we can name. Edinburgh Med. 

 Journal, Jan. 1868. 



In its treatment of the signs and diseases of preg- 

 nancy it is the most complete book we know of, 

 abounding on every page with matter valuable to the 

 general practitioner. Cincinnati Med. Repertory, 

 March, 1868. 



This is a most excellent work, and should be on the 

 table or in the library of every practitioner. Hum- 

 boldt Med. Archives, Feb. 1868. 



A valuable compendium, enriched by his own la- 

 bors, of all that is known on the signs and diseases of 

 pregnancy. St. Louis Med. Reporter, Feb. lu, 1868.
