The Pathology And Treatment Of Childbed PDF Download

Excerpt from The Pathology and Treatment of Childbed: A Treatise for Physicians and Students The treatise of Dr. Winckel is, in Germany, the standard authority in this hranch of medicine, and will, I trust, prove a valuable addition to American medical literature, in that it presents in the most impartial manner the views of all the distinguished men who have contributed to a better appreciation of the pathology and treatment of the Diseases of Childbed. In this American Edition it has been thought expedient to omit one or two of the cases, and a table showing the "Condition of the Genital Organs in 100 Lying-in Women at the time of their discharge from the Establishment." The space thus gained has been used to accommodate considerable additions kindly made by the author to bring this Edition abreast of recent advances in medicine. The markings of the temperature have been converted from the Centigrade into the Fahrenheit system of notation. The decimal system of weights and measures has been retained with a view to familiarizing the Profession with this system, and thus aiding to secure its adoption in this country. To Dr. Arthur H. Nichols, of this city, I am indebted for a thorough revision of my manuscript. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
