OBSTETRICS: 



THE SCIENCE AND THE ART. 



BY CHARLES D. MEIGS, M. D., 



Professor of Midwifery and the Diseases of Women and Children in the Jefferson Medical College, 



Philadelphia, &c. &c. 



With One Hundred and Twenty Illustrations. 



In one beautifully printed octavo volume, of six hundred and eighty large pages. 



As an elementary treatise — concise, but, withal, clear and comprehensive— we know of no one better 

 adapted for the use of the student ; while the young practitioner will find in it a body of sound doctrine, 

 and a series of excellent practical directions, adapted to all the conditions of the various forms of labor 

 and their results, which he will be induced, we are persuaded, again and again to consult, and always with 

 profit. 



It has seldom been our lot to peruse a work upon the subject, from which we have received greater satis- 

 faction, and which we believe to be better calculated to communicate to the student correct and definite 

 views upon the several topics embraced within the scope of its teachings. — American Journal of the Medical 



We are acquainted with no work on midwifery of greater practical valine.— Boston Medical and Surgical 

 Journal. 



Worthy the reputation of its distinguished author. — Medical Examiner. 



We most sincerely recommend it, both to the student and practitioner, as a more complete and valuable 

 work on the Science and Art of Midwifery, than any of the numerous reprints and American Editions of 

 European works on the same subject.— N. Y. Annalist. 



We have, therefore, great satisfaction in bringing under our reader's notice the matured views of the 

 highest American authority in the department to which he has devoted his life and talents. — London Medical 

 Gazette. 



An author of established merit, aprofessor of Midwifery, and a practitioner of high reputation and immense 

 experience — we may assuredly regard his work now before us as representing the most advanced state of 

 obstetric science in America up to the time at which he writes. We consider Dr. Meigs' book as a valuable 

 acquisition to obstetric literature, and one that will very much assist the practitioner under many circum- 

 stances of doubt and perplexity.— The Dublin Quarterly Journal. 



These various heads are subdivided so well, so lucidly explained, that a good memory is all that is neces- 

 sary in order to put the reader in possession of a thorough knowledge of this important subject. Dr. Meigs 

 has conferred a great benefit on the profession in publishing this excellent work.— St. Louis Medical and 

 Surgical Journal. 



No reader will lay the volume down without admiration for the learning and talents of the author. An abler 

 volume, on the whole, we do not hope soon to see. — Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 



A safe and efficient guide to the delicate and ofttimes difficult duties which devolve upon the obstetrician.— 

 Ohio Medical and Surgical Journal. 



One of the very best treatises on this subject, and worthy of being placed in the library of every American 

 physician.— North western Medical and Surgical Journal. 



He has an earnest way with him when speaking of the most elementary subjects which fixes the attention 

 and adds much value to the work as a text- book for students. — British and Foreign Medico- Chirurgical 

 Review. 



NEW EDITION, REVISED FOR THIS COUNTRY. 



THEORY AND PRAGTIGE OF MIDWIFERY. 



BY FLEETWOOD CHUECHILL, M. D., 



Hon. Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, &c. &c. 

 WITH NOTES AND ADDITIONS 



BY ROBERT M. HUSTON, M. D., &c. 



THIRD AMERICAN EDITION, REVISED AND IMPROVED BY THE AUTHOR. 



With One Hundred and Twenty-eight Illustrations. 



In one very handsome octavo volume, of five hundred and twenty-six pages. 



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 from the American press— Charleston Medical Journal. 



Certainly, in our opinion, the very best work on the subject which exists. — N. Y. Annalist. 



Were we reduced to the necessity of having but one work on Midwifery, and permitted to choose, we would 

 unhesitatingly take Churchill. — Western Medical and Surgical Journal. 



It is impossible to conceive a more useful and elegant Manual than Dr. Churchill's Practice of Midwifery. 

 — Provincial Medical Journal. 



No work holds a higher position, or is more deserving of being placed in the hands of the tyro, the advanced 

 student, or the practitioner.— Medical Examiner.
