INCLUDING RELATED GYNECOLOGIC OPERATIONS 



Immediately on its publication this work took its place as the leading text- 

 book on the subject. Both in this country and abroad it is recognized as the 

 most satisfactorily written and clearly illustrated work on obstetrics in the 

 language. The illustrations form one of the features of the book. They are 

 numerous and the most of them are original. In this edition the book has 

 been thoroughly revised. Recognizing the inseparable relation between ob- 

 stetrics and certain gynecologic conditions, the author has included all the 

 gynecologic operations for complications and consequences of childbirth, 

 together with a brief account of the diagnosis and treatment of all the path- 

 ologic phenomena peculiar to women. 



OPINIONS OF THE MEDICAL PRESS 



British Medical Journal 



" The popularity of American text-books in this country is one of the features of recent 

 years. The popularity is probably chiefly due to the great superiority of their illustrations 

 over those of the English text-books. The illustrations in Dr. Hirst's volume are far more 

 numerous and far better executed, and therefore more instructive, than those commonly 

 found in the works of writers on obstetrics in our own country." 



Bulletin of Johns Hopkins Hospital 



" The work is an admirable one in every sense of the word, concisely but comprehen- 

 sively written." 



The Medical Record, New York 



"The illustrations are numerous and are works of art, many of them appearing for the 

 first time. The author's style, though condensed, is singularly clear, so that it is never 

 necessary to re-read a sentence in order to grasp the meaning. As a true model of what a 

 modern text-book on obstetrics should be, we feel justified in affirming that Dr. Hirst's book 

 is without a rival."
