Excerpt from Obstetrics for Nurses While actively engaged in instructing nurses in the classroom and in the wards, it became apparent that the existing textbooks on obstetrics were quite unsatisfactory adjuncts to such efforts, the standard medical works being too complicated and technical, while the special nurses books go into so much detail that the fundamental facts are apt to be overlooked. Moreover, in the latter neither the subject matter nor the illustrative material compares favorably with that offered our medical students. Consequently, many nurses use no textbook but rely upon their lecture notes and ward instruction, while an ambitious few always seek out the larger books and have difficulty in culling the information they especially desire. These observations engendered the idea of writing a condensed textbook, which should incorporate the essence of the knowledge of obstetrics into as simple language as possible without the confusing detail. The war, however, interfered with the carrying out of this plan, which is only now being consummated. It was assumed at the onset that the nurses would take up the study of obstetrics only near the end of their course, after approximately two years of previous hospital training had familiarized them with the usual nursing procedures. Moreover, it was realized that detailed statements about equipment and methods should be avoided as much as possible, in view of the fact that all hospitals have already adopted the routine which best suits their peculiar requirements. It then became apparent that there was a need for a simplified treatise on the more or less scientific side of the specialty, so that the nurses would have a better background for their practical work. (While too much knowledge is sometimes decried as being detrimental to the development of a good "practical" nurse, there can be no question that the individual in any line of endeavor who does things knowingly and thinkingly is superior to the automaton. Nursing itself is constantly rising to a higher plane and progressively more learning will be required of all in the profession.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of the Science and Art of Obstetrics It is a peculiarity Of obstetric art that the physician from the very moment he begins practising may encounter any kind of com plications and difficulties, which have -to be met at once. The author has, therefore, endeavored to be as brief, clear, and precise in expres sion as possible, although, on the other hand, he has tried to avoid unnecessary scientific dryness. The work 18 so profusely illustrated that one who is somewhat familiar with this branch of science can refresh his memory by merely turning over its pages and looking at the pictures. Many of the illustrations are new and drawn directly from nature, in order to avoid the manifold inaccuracies found in current representations even of such solid Objects as the bones Of the pelvis. AS far as possible, Objects are represented in their actual Size, which is deemed much more instructive than to ask the reader to draw on his imagination in understanding mechanical problems and questions Of development.
