OBSTETRICS: THE SCIENCE AND THE ART. Fifth edition, 



revised. With one hundred and thirty illustrations. In one beautifully printed octavo 

 volume of 760 large pages. Extra cloth, $5 50; leather, $6 50. (Just Issued.) 

 The original edition is already so extensively and | practitioner. The rapidity with which the very large 



editions have been exhausted is the best test of its 

 true merit. Besides, it -is the production of an Ame- 

 rican who has probably had more experience in this 

 branch than any other living practitioner of the coun- 



favorably known to the profession that no recom- 

 mendation is necessary; it is sufficient to say, the 

 present edition is very much extended, improved, 

 and perfected. Whilst the great practical talents and 

 unlimited experience of the author render it a most 

 valuable acquisition to the practitioner, it is so con- 

 densed as to constitute a most eligible and excellent 

 text-book for the student. Southern Med. and Surg. 

 Journal, July, 1867. 



It is to the student that our author has more par- 

 ticularly addressed himself; but to the practitioner 

 we believe it would be equally serviceable as a book 

 of reference. No work that we have met with so 

 thoroughly details everything that falls to the lot of 

 the accoucheur to perform. Every detail, no matter 

 how minute or how trivial, has found a place. 

 Canada Medical Journal, July, 1867. 



This very excellent work on the science and art of 

 obstetrics should be in the hands of every student and 



iving practitioner!

He has also carefully endeavored to be minute and 

 clear in his details, with as little reiteration as possi- 

 ble, and beautifully combines the relations of science 

 to art, as far as the different classifications will admit.

We now take leave of Dr. Meigs. There are many 

 other and interesting points in his book on which we 

 would fain dwell, but are constrained to bring our ob- 

 servations to a close. We again heartily express our 

 approbation of the labors of Dr. Meigs, extending over 

 many years, and culminating in the work before us, 

 full of practical hints for the inexperienced, and even 

 for those whose experience has been considerable.

 We will only add that the student will learn from 

 it afll he need to know, and the practitioner will find 

 it, as a book of reference, surpassed by none other.

The character and merits of Dr. Ramsbotham's 

 work are so well known and thoroughly established, 



that comment is unnecessary and praise superfluous. 

 The illustrations, which are numerous and accurate, 

 are executed in the highest, style of art. We cannot 

 too highly recommend the work to our readers. St. 

 Louis Med. and Surg. Journal. 



To the physician's library it is indispensable, while 

 to the student, as a text-book, from which to extract 

 the material for laying the foundation of an education 

 on obstetrical science, it has no superior. Ohio Med. 

 and Surg. Journal. 



When we call to mind the toil we underwent in 

 acquiring a knowledge of this subject, we cannot but 

 envy the student of the present day the aid which 

 this work will afford him. Am. Jour, of the Med. 

 Sciences. 



riHURCHILL (FLEETWOOD), M.D., M.R.I. A. 

 ON THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF MIDWIFERY. A new 



American from the fourth revised and enlarged London edition. With notes and additions 

 by 1). FRANCIS CONDIE, M. D., author of a "Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Chil- 

 dren,' 1 &c. With one hundred and ninety-four illustrations. In one very handsome octavo 

 volume of nearly 700 large pages. Extra cloth, $4 00; leather, $5 00. 



In adapting this standard favorite to the wants of the profession in the United States, the editor 

 has endeavored to insert everything that his experience has shown him would be desirable for the 

 American student, including a large number of illustrations. With the sanction of the author, 

 he has added, in the form of an appendix, some chapters from a little "Manual for Midwives and 

 Nurses," recently issued by Dr. Churchill, believing that the details there presented can hardly 

 fail to prove of advantage to the junior practitioner. The result of all these additions is that the 

 work now contains fully one-half more matter than the last American edition, with nearly one- 

 half more illustrations ; so that, notwithstanding the use of a smaller type, the volume contains 

 almost two hundred pages more than before. 



has been added which could be well dispensed with. 

 An examination of the table of contents shows how 

 thoroughly the author has gone over the ground, and 

 the care he has taken in the text to present the sub- 

 jects in all their bearings, will render this new edition 

 even more necessary to the obstetric student than 

 were either of the former editions at the date of their 

 appearance. No treatise on obstetrics with which we 

 are acquainted can compare favorably with this, iu 

 respect to the amount of material which has been 



These additions render the work still more com- 

 plete and acceptable than ever; and with the excel- 

 lent style in which the publishers have presented 

 this edition of Churchill, we can commend it to the 

 profession with great cordiality and pleasure. Cin- 

 cMnati Lancet. 



Few works on this branch of medical science are 

 equal to it, certainly none excel it, whether in regard 

 to theory or practice, and in one respect it is superior 

 to all others, viz., in its statistical information, and 

 therefore, on these grounds a most valuable work for 

 the physician, student, or lecturer, all of whom will 

 find in it the information which they are seeking. 

 Brit. Am. Journal. 



The present treatise is very much enlarged and 

 amplified beyond the previous editions but nothing 



gathered from every source. Boston Med. and Surg. 

 Journal. 



There is no better text-book for students, or work 

 of reference and study for the practising physician 

 than this. It should adorn and enrich every medical 

 library. Chicago Med. Journal.
