Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Eclectic Obstetrics During the lectures of the Author in the various Sessions of the Eclectic Medical Institute of Cincinnati, for many years, in the department of Obstetrics, a great amount of inconvenience was experienced by the classes, as well as by himself, from the want of a d104-Book, especially adapted to the teachings of the school of medicine, known as the American Eclectic; and, to obviate this embarrassment in the future, as well as to aid in removing any incorrect views of the tenets of this school, which may have been based upon improper representations, was the principal design of the Author in the publication of the first edition of this work. And, although more especially intended for the benefit of the student, imparting to him practical information not to be found elsewhere, divested of speculative theory, and presented in as plain and concise a style as the nature of the subject would admit, yet it has been highly gratifying to the Author to learn that even those engaged in practice have consulted its pages with benefit, that the large edition at first published has been well received by the profession, and that a new edition is now loudly called for. And in the preparation of this Second Edition, his sole aim has been to be useful, and advance as far as lies in his power the best interests of suffering and afflicted humanity. In American Eclectic Practice, the mechanical management of obstetrical cases varies but little, if any, from that advocated and pursued by the profession generally; but a very marked distinction may be observed in the collateral treatment, which was for the first time presented in a published form in the first edition of this work, and in which several new agents were introduced, not previously recognized in obstetrical practice.
