positions of the obstetric science and 

 practice of the day with which we 

 are acquainted. Throughout the 

 work the author shows an intimate 

 acquaintance with the literature of 

 obstetrics, and gives evidence of large 

 practical experience, great discrimi- 

 nation, and sound judgment. We 

 heartily recommend the book as a 

 full and clear exposition of obstetric 

 science, and safe guide to student and 

 practitioner." London Lancet. 



" Professor Lusk's book presents 

 the art of midwifery with all that 

 modern science or earlier learning 

 has contributed to it." Medical 

 Record, New York. 



"This book bears evidence on 

 every page of being the result of 

 patient and laborious research and 

 great personal .experience, united 

 and harmonized by the true critical 

 or scientific spirit, and we are con- 

 vinced that the book will raise the 

 general standard of obstetric knowl- 

 edge both in his own country and 

 in this. Whether for the student obliged to learn the theoretical part of midwifery, or for the busy prac- 

 titioner seeking aid in face of practical difficulties, it is, in our opinion, the best modern work on mid- 

 wifery in the English language." Dublin Journal of Medical Science.

Author's Modification of Tamier's Forceps. 



" Dr. Lusk's style is clear, generally concise, and 

 he has succeeded in putting in less than seven hun- 

 dred pages the best exposition in the English lan- 

 guage of obstetric science and art. The book will 

 prove invaluable alike to the student and the prac- 

 titioner." American Practitioner. 



' ' Dr. Lusk's work is so comprehensive in design 

 and so elaborate in execution that it must be recog- 

 nized as having a status peculiarly its own among 

 the text-books of midwifery in the English lan- 

 guage." New York Medical Journal. 



"The work is, perhaps, better adapted to the 

 wants of the student as a text-book, and to the 

 practitioner as a work of reference, than any other 

 one publication on the subject. It contains about 

 all that is known of the ars obstetrica, and must 

 add greatly to both the fame and fortune of the 

 distinguished author." Medical Herald. Louis- 

 ville. 



' ' Dr. Lusk's book is eminently viable. It ran 

 not fail to live and obtain the honor of a second, a 

 third, and nobody can foretell how many editions. 

 It is the mature product of great industry and acute 

 observation. It is by far the most learned and most 

 complete exposition of the science and art of obstet- 

 rics written in the English language. It is a book 

 so rich in scientific and practical information, that 

 nobody practicing obstetrics ought to deprive him- 

 self of the advantage he is sure to gain from a fre- 

 quent recourse to its pages." American Journal of 

 Obstetrics. 



"It is a pleasure to read such a book as that 

 which Dr. Lusk has prepared ; everything pertain- 

 ing to the important subject of obstetrics is dis- 

 cussed in a masterly and captivating manner. We 

 recommend the book as an excellent one, and feel 

 confident that those who read it will be amply re- 

 paid." Obstetric Gazette, Cincinnati.
