Excerpt from American Eclectic ObstetricsON being called to the chair of Obstetrics in the Eclectic Medical Institute two years ago, my attention was at once called to the fact that a new and revised edition of the text-book of the department was badly needed. The broken health and advanced age of the author rendered it impossible for him to undertake the work. it thus devolved upon me to make the revision. Arrangements being com pleted with Dr. King, I at once set about the task of overhauling the old and building up the new. The great advance that has been made in the art and science of obstetrics during the past fourteen years (the time since the last revision by Prof. King) has rendered necessary a thorough and systematic rewriting of the entire work, in order to bring it up to the present state of knowledge on the subject. I assumed the responsibility of the work with a very keen sense of the many difficulties and great labor involved in the undertaking. Numerous and extensive additions have been made to every chapter of the work. Especial attention is called to the treatment of the dis cases of pregnancy. specific medication being substituted for the old style of prescribing. Where reference is made to remedial agents, the specific tinctures peculiar to the eclectic school of medicine are understood.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
