Excerpt from An Introduction to the Practice of MidwiferyContrary to the expectations of the Author, another edition of this work has been called for, and it has been thought expedient to compress it into one volume. Some corrections have of course been made, but not many additions, very few practical improvements having come to the khowledge of the Author since the publication of the former editions. It may be doubted whether any part of medicine has been more improved within the last sixty or seventy years than the practice of midwifery, by returning as it were from too much artifice to the sim plicity of nature, and by relying on the general efficacy of the powers of the constitution in overcoming the difficulties which occur in child-birth. I must, however, allow, that some improvements have been made in the treatment of women in child-birth after delivery, and perhaps in fixing with more precision the time when the interposition or assistance of art was required.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
