Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Obsetetrics: For Students and Practitioners In the preparation of the present volume it has been the aim of the author to furnish to the student a text-book and to the practitioner a work of reference, in which both the science and the art of obstetrics should be fully set forth in accordance with the most modern results of investigation and experience. Obstetric surgery, which of late years has had so conspicuous a development, has received special attention; while the hygiene of pregnancy, parturition, lactation, and recovery from labor have been treated in the minute detail requisite to protect the health of mother and child. As mothers, moreover, naturally regard the obstetrician as the proper adviser for the infant, the disorders of infancy have been considered as a necessary part of the subject. It has seemed to the author that nomenclature and diagnosis have been rendered unnecessarily confused by complicated terminology and theoretical distinctions, and he has endeavored to avoid this by a method simple, direct, and practical. Extensive experience both as a teacher and clinician has familiarized him with the needs of both students and practitioners, and these he has endeavored to meet, not only in the manner of presentation, but in condensing the results of recent research, and in advising those modes of treatment only which have proved trustworthy in practice. Of the very complete and beautiful series of illustrations, many are photographic reproductions from obstetric cases, carefully selected in view of the amount, vividness, and permanence of knowledge which can be conveyed in no other way.
