Obstetrics. 



Parvin's Obstetrics Second Edition.

 PAKVIN, M. D,, LL. D., Professor of Obstetrics and the Diseases of Women

 In one handsome 8vo. volume of 701 pages, with 239 engravings and a 

 colored plate. Cloth, $4.25 ; leather, $5.25. 



The second edition of this work is fully 

 up to the present state of advancement of 

 the obstetric art. Rarely in the range of ob- 

 stetric 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 subject 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's Midwifery Seventh Edition. 



A Treatise on the Science and Practice of Mid- 

 wifery. By W. S. PLAYFAIE, M. D., F. R. C. P., Professor of Obstetric 

 Medicine in King's College, London, etc. Fifth American, from the 

 seventh English edition. Edited, with additions, by ROBERT P. HARRIS, 

 M. I). In one handsome octavo volume of 664 pages, with 207 engravings 

 and 5 plates. Cloth, $4.00 ; leather, $5.00. 



Truly a wonderful book; an epitome of all 

 obstetrical knowledge, full, clear and con- 

 cise. In thirteen years it has reached seven 

 editions. It is perhaps the most popular 

 work of its kind ever presented to the pro- 

 fession. Beginning with the anatomy and 

 physiology of the organs concerned, nothing 

 is left un written that the practical accoucheur 

 should know. It seems that every conceiv- 

 able physiological or pathological condition 



from the moment of conception to the time 

 of complete involution has had the author's 

 patient attention. The plates and illustra- 

 tions, carefully studied, will teach the sci- 

 ence of midwifery. 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.

So comprehensive a treaties could not be

 size, were not two things especially true. 

 First, Dr. King is a teacher of many years' 

 experience, and knows just how to present 

 his subjects in a manner for them to be best 

 received; and, secondly, he can put his ideas 

 in a clear and concise form. In other words, 

 he knows how to use the English language.
