Excerpt from d104 Book of Modern Midwifery Many years have elapsed since the first appearance of the Obstetric Treatises, by Profs. Meigs, Hodge, and Bedford; and the more recent editions of their works have not kept pace with the progress of this branch of medicine. To supply the deficiency, the American Medical Schools have been furnished with Obstetric d104 Books from Great Britain and Continental Europe; chiefly by reprints of the works of Playfair and Leishman, and translations of those of Cazeaux and Schrocder. Believing that there is a demand for a work which shall more thoroughly represent American Obstetric Practice, the author has ventured to present the following condensed treatise to the medical students and practitioners of his own country. Many years' experience as a practitioner, and several as teacher of midwifery, lead him to hope that he may at least assist in supplying the demand for a book properly representing the peculiarities of American practice, and adapted to the wants of obstetric teachers and busy practitioners. He is under many obligations to Messrs. H. C. Lea's Son & Co., Lindsay & Blakiston, Tiemann, and others, for the use of illustrations, obtained chiefly from the works of Cazeaux, Meadows, Playfair, Leishman, Churchill, and Hodge.

Excerpt from A Text Book of Midwifery, Vol. 1 AT the outset of my career as teacher and practitioner, nearly twenty years ago, I wrote a Compendium of Midwifery which the publishers intended should form one of a series of text books, and which met with a far more cordial reception than I had anticipated. During the next few years however of my clinical activity, I had neither time nor inclination for a more complete and revised treatise, and before long my removal to another sphere of work, which happened more than once, also proved an obstacle. When later on I found the necessary leisure, the need for a Compendium had passed away. It seemed to me how ever that a complete treatise of Obstetrical Science, showing what progress had been made both in theory and practice during the last twenty years, and how greatly the science had been advanced by fresh researches, would be a useful undertaking. Especially did I venture to hope that the wide gap which still separates the Midwifery as taught in our hospitals and medical schools, and that of ordinary practice might be partly bridged over. Such' was the origin of this text book. My last object obliged me to treat the subject from a clinical stand-point.

Excerpt from Text Book of Midwifery, Vol. 2 of 2 Under some conditions, more particularly after premature rupture of the membranes, plugging the vagina (in this case with an india-rubber bag) is of great service; indeed owing to the counter-pressure which is thus exerted, it is also indicated where in spite of inefficient pains there is reason to fear a premature discharge of the liquor amnii. If the cervix dilates too slowly; if it offers a prolonged resistance, if the delay is caused by the escape Of too much liquor amnii, the cervix and the lower segment of the uterus 'may be dilated by means of Tarnier's or Barnes' bags (cf. Induction Of Premature Labour). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • This modern classic from the author of The Flight Attendant is a compulsively readable novel that explores questions of human responsibility that are as fundamental to our society now as they were when the book was first published. A selection of Oprah's original Book Club that has sold more than two million copies. On an icy winter night in an isolated house in rural Vermont, a seasoned midwife named Sibyl Danforth takes desperate measures to save a baby’s life. She performs an emergency cesarean section on a mother she believes has died of stroke. But what if—as Sibyl's assistant later charges—the patient wasn't already dead? The ensuing trial bears the earmarks of a witch hunt, forcing Sibyl to face the antagonism of the law, the hostility of traditional doctors, and the accusations of her own conscience. Exploring the complex and emotional decisions surrounding childbirth, Midwives engages, moves, and transfixes us as only the very best novels ever do. Look for Chris Bohjalian's new novel, The Lioness!
