In our medical colleges the teachers of Obstetrics dwell upon the use of blood-letting (phlebotomy) in 

 cases of puerperal convulsions, and to this method Dr. Michener and his fellows give their unqualified 

 support — not to take a prescribed number of ounces, but to bleed for effect , and from a large orifice. This. 

 is plainly and admifably set forth in his book. To bleed requires a cutting instrument,— not necessarily a. 

 Iancet, — for Dr. M. states how in one case a pocket-knife was used and the desired effect produced. , 



Let the young physician gather courage from this little book, and let the* more experienced give testi- 

 mony to confirm its teaching. 



We have always thought that thiB treatment was 

 indorsed, approved, and practiced by physicians generally ; 

 and to such as doubt the efficacy of blood-letting we would 

 commend this little vol nine, — Southern Clinic, 



The authors are seriously striving to restore the 



"lost art" of blood-letting, and we must commend the , 

 modesty of their endeavor. — North Carolina Med. Jour. 



The oases were ably analyzed, and this plea for vene- 

 section 'should reoei ve the most attentive consideration front.
