P., Senior Assistant Physician to Westminster Hospital; Lecturer on Materia Medica in Westminster Hospital School; and Physician to the Belgrave Hospital for Children; Editor of The Practitioner (London), etc. 1 vol., 12mo. Cloth, $2.50. It is a valuable contribution to scientific medicine.—The Lancet (London). BARKER The Puerperal Diseases, cimcai Lectures delivered at JBellevue Hospital. By FORDYCE BARKER, M. D., Clinical Professor of Midwifery and the Diseases of Women in the Bellevue Hospital Medical College; Obstetric Physician to Bellevue Hospital; Consulting Physician to the New York State Woman's Hospital; Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine; formerly Presi- dent of the Medical Society of the State of New York; Honorary Fellow of the Obstetrical Societies of London and Edinburgh; Honorary Fellow of the Boyal Medical Society of Athens, Greece, etc., etc., etc. 1 vol., 8vo. Cloth. 526 pages. Price, $5.00. For nearly twenty years it has been my duty, as well as my privilege, to give clinical lect- ures at Bellevue Hospital, on midwifery, the puerperal and the other diseases of women. This volume is made up substantially from phonographic reports of the lectures which I have given on the puerperal diseases. Having had rather exceptional opportunities for the study of these diseases, I have felt it to be an imperative duty to utilize, so far as Lay in my power, the advan- tages which I have enjoyed for the promotion of science, and, I hope, for the interests of human- ity. In many subjects, such as albuminuria, convulsions, thrombosis, and embolism, septicaemia, and pyaemia, the advance of science has been so rapid as to make it necessary to teach something new every year. Those, therefore, who have formerly listened to my lectures on these subjects, and who now do me the honor to read this volume, will not be surprised to find, in many par- ticulars, changes in pathological views, and often in therapeutical teaching, from doctrines before inculcated. At the present day, for the first time in the history of the world, the obstetric de- partment seems to be assuming its proper position, as the highest branch of medicine, if its rank be graded by its importance to society, or by the intellectual culture and ability required, as compared with that demanded of the physician or the surgeon. A man may become eminent as a physician, and yet know very little of obstetrics; or he may be a successful and distinguished 6urgeon, and be quite ignorant of even the rudiments of obstetrics. But no one can be a really able obstetrician unless he be both physician and surgeon. And, as the greater includes the less, obstetrics should rank as the highest department of our profession.—From Author's Preface. On Sea-sickness. By FORDYCE BARKER, M. D. 1 vol., 16mo. 36 pp. Flexible Cloth, 75 cents. Reprinted from the New Yoke Medical Journal. By reason of the great demand for the number of that journal containing the paper, it is now presented in book form, with such pre- scriptions added as the author has found useful in relieving the suffering from sea-sickness.
