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

 ON THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OP MIDWIFERY. A new American 



from the fourih revised and enlarged London edition. With Notes and Additions, by D. Francis 

 OoNDiE, M. D., author of a "Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Children," &e. With 194 

 illiistraTions. In one very handsome octavo volume, leather, of nearly 700 large pages. $3 60. 

 (Just Issued.) 



This work has been so long an established favorite, both as a text-book for the learner and as a 

 reliable aid in consultation (or the practitioner, that in presenting a new edition it is only necessary 

 to call attention to the very extended improvements which it has received. Having had the benefit 

 of two revisions by the author since (he last American reprint, it ha^ been materially enlarged, and 

 Dr. Churchill's well-known conscientious industry is a guarantee that every portion has been tho- 

 roughly brought up with the latest results of European investigation in all departments of the sci- 

 ence and art of ob.-letrics. The recent dale of the last Dublin edition has not left much of novelty 

 for the American editor to introduce, but he has endeavored to insert whatevir.has since appeared, 

 together with such matters a> 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 Midwivej^ and Nurses," re- 

 cently issued by Dr. Churchill, believing ihat the details there presented can hardly fail to prove of 

 advantage to the junior practitioner. Tae result of all these additions is that the work now con- 

 tains fully one-half more matter than the last AmericEyi edition, with nearly one-half more illus- 

 trations, so ihat n')t withstanding the use of a smaller type, the volume contains almost two hundred 

 pages more than before. 



No effort has been spared to secure an improvement in the mechanical execution of the work 

 equal to that which the text has received, and the volume is confidently presented as one of the 

 handsomest that has thus far been laid before the American profession; while the very low price 

 at which it is offered should secure for it a place in every lecture-room and on every office table. 



A better book in which to learn these important 

 points we have not met than Dr. Churchill's. Every 

 page of it is full of instruction ; the opinion of all 

 writers of nuthority is given on questions of diffi- 

 culty, as well as the directions and advice of the 

 learned autiior himself, to w^hich he adds the result 

 of statistical inquiry, putting statistics in their pro 

 per place and giving them their due weight, and no 

 more. We have never read a book more free from 

 professional jealousy than Dr. Churchill's. It ap- 

 pears to be written with the true design of a book on 

 medicine, viz : to give all that is known on the sub- 

 ject of which he treats, both theoretically and prac- 

 tically, and to advance such opinions of his own as 

 he believes will benefit medical science, and insure 

 the safety of the patient. We have said enough to 

 convey to the profession that this book of Dr. Chur- 

 chill's is admirably suited for a book of reference 

 fur the practitioner, as w^ell as a text-book for the 

 student, and we hope it may be extensively pur- 

 chased amongst our readers. To them we most 

 strongly recommend it. — Dublin Medical Press, 

 June"20, 1860. 



To bestow praise on a book that has received such 

 marked approbation would be superfluous. Weneed 

 only say, therefore, that if the first edition w^as 

 thought worthy of a favorable reception by the 

 medical public, we can confidently affirm that this 

 will be found much more so. The lecturer, the 

 practitioner, and the student, may all have recourse 

 to its pages, and derive from their perusal much in- 

 terest and instruction in everything relating to theo- 

 retical and practical midwifery. — Dublin Quarterly 

 Journal of Medical Science. 



A work of very great merit, and such as we can 

 confidently recommend to the study of every obste- 

 tric practitioner. — London Medical Gazette. 



This is certainly the most perfect system extant. 

 It is the best adapted for the purposes of a text- 

 book, and that which he whose necessities confine 

 him to one book, should select in preference to all 

 others. — Southern Medical and Surgical Journal.

The most popular work on midwifery ever issued 

 'rom the American press. — Charleston Med. Journal. 



Were we reduced to the necessity of having but 

 3ne work on midwifery, and permitted to choose, 

 ff'e would unhesitatingly take Churchill. — Western 

 Med. and Surg. Journal. 



It is impossible to conceive a more useful and 

 jlegant manual than Dr. Churchill's Practice of 

 Vlidwifery. — Provincial Medical Journal. 



Certainly, in our opinion, the very best work on 

 he subject which exists. — N. Y. Annalist. 



No work holds a higher position, or is more de- 

 serving of being placed in the hands of the tyro, 

 the advanced student, or the practitioner. — Medical 

 Examiner, 



Previous editions, under the editorial supervision 

 of Prof R. M. Huston, have been received with 

 marked favor, and they deserved it; but this, re- 

 printed from a very late Dublin edition, carefully 

 revised and brought up by the author to the present 

 time, does present an unusually accurate and able 

 exposition of every important particular embraced 

 in the department of midwifery. * * The clearness, 

 directness, and precision of its teachings, together 

 with the great amount of statistical research which 

 its text exhibits, have served to place it already in 

 the foremost rank of works in this department of re 

 medial science. — N. O. Med. and Surg. Journal. 



In our opinion, it forms one of the best if not th 

 very best text- book and epitome of obstetric science 

 which we at present possess in the English lan- 

 guage. — Monthly Journal of Medical Science. 



The clearness and precision of style in which it is 

 written, and the great amount of statistical research 

 which it contains, have served to place it in the first 

 rank of works in this departmentof medical science. 

 —N. Y. Journal of Medicine. 



Few treatises will be found better adapted as a 

 text-book for the student, or as a manual for th« 

 frequent consultation of the young practitioner. — 

 American Medical Journal.

ON THE DISEASES OF INFANTS AND CHILDREN. Second American 



Edition, revised and enlarged by tlie author. Edited, with Notes, by W. V. Keattng, M. D. Id 

 one large and handsome volume, extra cloth, of over 700 pages. $3 00, or in leather, $3 25. 

 In preparing this work a second time for the American profession, the author has spared no 

 labor in giving it a very thorough revision, introducing several new chapters, and rewriting others, 

 while every portion of the volume has been subjected to a severe scrutiny. The efforts of the 

 American editor have been directed to supplying such information relative to matters peculiar 

 to this country as might have escaped the attention of the author, and the whole may, there- 

 fore, be safely pronounced one of the most complete works on the subject accessible to the Ame- 

 rican Profession. By an alteration in the size of the page, these very extensive additions have 

 been accommodated without unduly increasing the size of the work.
