Excerpt from The Science and Art of Midwifery The third edition of this work, published in 1885, was intended to present to the reader a picture of the most advanced obstetrical teachings of that date. In the brief interval, however, that has elapsed since then the changes that have taken place in both the theory and practice of obstetrics have made it necessary for me to present to the profession what is essentially a new book. Thus many modifications in the theory have resulted from more careful observations in anatomy and pathology, and from fruitful physio logical investigations. It has been my endeavor to interweave aseptic precautions with all branches of obstetric art without, how ever, insisting upon pedantic measures which experience has shown to be needless. But the noblest conquests of the past years have been the result of the employment of modern surgery for the relief or removal of a host of complications formerly regarded as beyond the pale of human help. In making needed alterations I have not felt it obligatory when new discoveries have destroyed the value of former deductions to retain these in order to maintain a reputation for consistency. I thank the medical press and the medical profession of this country and Great Britain for the flattering welcome they have hitherto extended to this treatise, and trust that in its new form it may command a like degree of favor. For the preparation of the index special thanks are once more due to my friend Dr. W. H. Flint, whose painstaking accuracy will be evident to those who have occasion to consult these pages.

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Science and Practice of Midwifery Four years have passed since the last American edition was issued, and this period has worked a revolution in the results attained in sev eral forms of Obstetric surgery: notably is this the case in the Form Caesarean Operation; the conservative Caesarean operation; and the exsective method Of treating extra-uterine pregnancy where the foetus is alive and of Viable development. The Porro operation has fallen in its rate of mortality since 1884 from 58 to less than 20 per cent. And the Conservative or Improved Caesarean, from 45 per cent. To a general average of 20 per cent., and for Continental Europe of 12. The exsective Operation named had had but one case prior to 1885, but has now had five without the death of a mother. These facts are not mentioned in the last English edition. Laparo-elytrotomy, which was attracting considerable attention four years ago, has almost ceased to exist, by reason of the diminished death-rate under the improved Caesarean section, which in Germany has been one case lost In eight. Laparo-elytrotomy has therefore not been performed since September 18, 1887. The Editor has brought up the work to date upon these subjects, and their statistical records to the close of the year 1888. All Of the American additions, except the article upon the forceps, have been either rewritten or remodelled, and many new and short notes have been added where required. The work has been sufficientlv Americanized, upon the points Where English and American Obstetri cians differ in Opinion and practice, to fit it for the uses of American medical students and Obstetricians. All notes and additions have been distinguished by enclosure in brackets J. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
