THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OP 



OBSTETRIC MEDICINE AND SURGERY, 



In reference to the Process of Parturition. 

 BY FRANCIS H. EAMSBOTHAM, M. D., 



Physician to the Royal Maternity Charity, &c. &c. 



FIFTH AMERICAN FROM THE LAST LONDON EDITION. 



Illustrated with One Hundred and Forty-eight Figures on Fifty-five Lithographic Plates. 



In one large and handsomely printed volume, imperial octavo, with 520 pages. 



From Professor Hodge, of the University of Pennsylvania. 



To the American public, it is most valuable, from its intrinsic undoubted excellence, and as being the best 

 authorized exponent of British Midwifery. Its circulation will, I trust, be extensive throughout our country. 



We recommend the student, who desires to master this difficult subject with the least possible trouble, to 

 possess himself at once of a copy of this work. — American Journal of the Medical Sciences. 



It stands at the head of the long list of excellent obstetric works published in the last few years in Great 

 Britain, Ireland, and the Continent of Europe. We consider this book indispensable to the library of every 

 physician engaged in the practice of Midwifery. — Southern Medical and Surgical Journal. 



When the whole profession is thus unanimous in placing such a work in the very first rank as regards the 

 extent and correctness of all the details of the theory and practice of so important a branch of learning, our 

 commendation or condemnation would be of little consequence; but, regarding it as the most useful of all works 

 of the kind, we think it but an act of justice to urge its claims upon the profession.— iV. O. Med. Journal. 



We are disposed to place it first on the list of the numerous publications that have appeared on this subject; 

 for there is none within our knowledge that displays in so clear and forcible a manner every step in the pro- 

 cess, and that, too, under all imaginable circumstances —N. Y. Journal of Medicine 



TYLER SMITH ON PARTURITION.-A New Work —Just Issued. 



ON PARTURITION, 



AND THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETRICS. 



BY W. TYLER SMITH, M. D., 



Lecturer on Obstetrics in the Hunterian School of Medicine, &c. &c. 

 In one large duodecimo volume, of 400 pages. 



The work will recommend itself by its intrinsic merit to every member of the profession.— Lancet. 



We can. imagine the pleasure with which William Hunter or Denman would have welcomed the present 

 work; certainly the most valuable contribution to obstetrics that has been made since their own day. For 

 ourselves, we consider its appearance as the dawn of a new era in this department of medicine. 



We have thus given a brief, but we believe accurate and succinct, outline of the original views contained 

 in this volume. At every page of the work itself, practical deductions are drawn from the physiological 

 doctrines as they are advanced; but we have for the present chiefly confined ourselves to the latter. In a 

 future bibliographical sketch we shall, with equal care, go over these lectures, which are entirely devoted to 

 practical points; and we are sure that the interest of our readers will not flag while they follow us in our 

 task. We would observe, that we do not pledge ourselves to all and every doctrine promulgated by Dr. 

 Tyler Smith. This would be impossible, considering the magnitude of the subject itself, and the great vari- 

 ety and importance of the topics discussed; but we do most cordially recommend the work as one absolutely 

 necessary to be studied by every accoucheur. It will, we may add, prove equally interesting and instructive 

 to the student, the general practitioner, and pure obstetrician.' It was a bold undertaking to reclaim parturi- 

 tion for Reflex Physiology, and it has been well performed.— London Journal of Medicine.
