Excerpt from The Accoucheur's Vademecum, or Modern Guide to the Practice of Midwifery Really the author does not here speak from hyp0y thesis, for he has witnessed some very serious blun ders in the practice of Midwifery, evidently from the practitioner having adopted a partial code of notions capable of but limited application. In truth, it was the impression which such occurrences made on him that first led him to form a digest from various trust worthy authors of points but partially disposed of in books in common use. A hope that what he found of advantage to himself might prove beneficial to other practitioners has occasioned the present volume to appear in print. But it is unnecessary to enlarge further on this subject, for a cursory inspection will show that topics not afew are extensively treated of in the accoucheur's vadamecum, notwithstanding its limited price and size, which works on mid wifery of double its bulk, and far more than double its cost have either dismissed unnoticed, or in such a manner as to be productive of little satisfaction to the reader.
