    TTODGE {HUGH L.), M.D., -*-*• Emeritus Professor of Midwifery, &e , in the University of Pennsylvania, &c. THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETRICS. Illus- trated with large lithographic plates containing one hundred and fifty-nine figures from original photographs, and with numerous wood-cuts. In one large and beautifully printed quarto volume of 550 double-columned pages, strongly bound in extra cloth, $14. The work of Dr. Hodge is something more than a simple presentation of his particular views in the de- partment of Obstetrics; it is something more than an ordinary treatise on midwifery; it is, in fact, a cyclo- paedia of midwifery. He has aimed to embody in a single volume the whole science and art of Obstetrics. An elaborate text is combined with accurate and va- ried pictorial illustrations, so that no fact or principle Is left unstated or unexplained;—Am. Med. Times, Sept. S, 1S64. We should like to analyze the remainder of this excellent work, but already has this review extended beyond our limited space. We cannot conclude this notice without referring to the excellent finish of the work. In typography it is not to be excelled; the paper is superior to what is usually aiforded by our American cousins, quite equal to the best of English books. The engravings and lithographs are most beautifully executed. The work recommends itself for its originality, and is in every way a most valu- able addition to those on the subject of obstetrics.— Canada Med. Journal, Oct. 1864. It is very large, profusely and elegantly illustrated, and is fitted to take its place near the works of great obstetricians. Of the American works on the subject It is decidedly the best.—Edinb. Med. Jour., Dec. '64. :jf;** Specimens of the plates and letter-press will be forwarded to any address, free by mail, en receipt of six cents in postage stamps. rpANNER [THOMAS H.), M.D. ON THE SIGNS AND DISEASES OF PREaNANCY. First American from the Second and Enlarged English Edition. With four colored plates and illustrations In one handsome octavo volume of about 500 pages, extra cloth, $4 25. We have examined Professor Hodge's work with great satisfaction; every topic is elaborated most fully. The views of the author are comprehensive, and concisely stated. The rules of practice are judi- /Bious, and will enable the practitioner to meet every emergency of obstetric complication with confidence. —Chicago Med. Journal, Aug. 1864. More time than we have had at our disposal since we received the great work of Dr. Hodge is necessary to do it justice. It is undoubtedly by far the most original, complete, and carefully composed treatise on the principles and practice of Obstetrics which has ever been issued from the American press.—Pacifie Med. and Surg. Journal, July, 1S64. We have read Dr. Hodge's book with great plea- sure, and have much satisfaction in expressing our commendation of it as a whole. It is certainly highly instructive, and in the main, we believe, correct. The great attention which the author has devoted to the mechanism of parturition, taken along with the con- clusions at which he has arrived, point, we think, conclusively to the fact that, in Britain at least, tho doctrines of Naegele have been too blindly received. —Glasgow Med. Journal, Oct. 1864. on wood. ■ The very thorough revision the work has undergone has added greatly to its practical value, and increased materially its efficiency as a guide to the student and to the young practitioner.—Am,. Journ. Med. Sci., April, 1868. With the immense variety of subjects treated of and the ground which they are made to cover, the im- possibility of giving an extended review of this truly remarkable work must be apparent. We have not a single fault to find with it, and most heartily com- mend it to the careful study of every physician who would not only always be sure of his diagnosis of pregnancy, but always ready to treat all the nume- rous ailments that are, unfortunately for the civilized women of to-day, so commonly associated with the function.—iV^. Y. Med. Itecord, March 16 1868. We recommend obstetrical students, young and old, to have this volume in their collections. It con- tains not only afairstatement of the signs, symptoms, and diseases of pregnancy, but comprisei? in addition much interesting relative matter that is not to be found in any other work that we can name.—Edin- burgh Med. Journal, Jan. 1868. ^WAYNE [JOSEPH GRIFFITHS), M.D., ^^ Physician-Accoucheur to the British General Hospital, &c. OBSTETRIC APHORISMS FOR THE USE OF STUDENTS COM- MENCING MIDWIFERY PRACTICE. Second American, from the Fifth and Revised London Edition, with Additions by E. R. Hutchins, M. D, With Illustrations. In one neat 12mo. volume. Extra cloth, $1 25. {Now Ready.) *;((* See p. 3 of this Catalogue for the terms on which this work is offered as a premium to subscribers to the American JoaRNAL of the Medical Sciences. It is really a capital little compendium of the sub- ject, and we recommend youngpractitioners to buy it and carry it with them when called to attend cases of labor. They can while away the otherwise tedious hours of waiting, and thoroughly fix in their memo- ries the most important practical suggestions it con- tains. The American editor has materially added by his notes and the concluding chapters to the com- pleteness and general value of the book.—Chicago Med. Journal, Feb. 1870. The manual before us containsin exceedingly small compass—small enough to carry in the pockei—about all there is of obstetrics, condensed into a nutshell of Aphorisms. The illustrations are well selected, and serve as excellent reminders of the conduct of labor— regular and diiflcult.—Cincinnati Lancet, April, '70. ■Vhis is a most admirable little work, and completel v answers the purpose. It is not only valuable for young beginners, but no one who is not a proficient in the art of obstetrics should be without it, because it condenses all that is necessary to know for ordi- nary midwifery practice. We commend the book most favorably.—St. Louis Med. and Surg. Jour^ial, Sept. 10, 1870. A studied perusal of this little book has satisfied us of its eminently practical value. The object of the work, the author says, in his preface, is to give the student a few brief and practical directions respect- ing the management of ordinary cases of labor; and also to point out to him in extraordinary cases whea and how he may act upon his own re>^pousibility, and when he ought to send for assistance.—iV.
