Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Obstetrics
IN presenting to the public the second edition of this work, the author wishes to express his high appreciation of the courteous and cordial treatment he has received at the hands of his reviewers and of the profession generally. In response to this hearty greeting, it has been his aim in the new edition to remedy the defects of its predecessor, and by careful rewriting and enlarging to make the work in its new form as acceptable as it was in the old. To this end a number of entirely new sections have been added, including chapters on the surgical treatment of puerperal sepsis, infant mortality, placental transmission of disease, the serum-therapy of puerperal sepsis, and the role of the liver in the production of puerperal eclampsia. Especial attention has been given to the more recent pathology of obstetric conditions, as malignant deciduoma and placental anomalies, as well as to the physiology and hygiene of pregnancy and labor; and a more accurate elaboration of the mechanism of labor has been adopted. By new illus trations the text has been elucidated, and every effort has been made to present the science of modern obstetrics in an instructive and acceptable form.
