A Treatise on Etherization in Childbirth: Illustrated by Five Hundred and Eighty-One Cases (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Treatise on Etherization in Childbirth: Illustrated by Five Hundred and Eighty-One Cases

Occupying a somewhat public position as a teacher of Midwifery, a department of medicine which has derived special and vast benefit from the discovery referred to, it seemed not out of place for me to collect, and present to the profession, the results of its application, amongst ourselves and elsewhere, to that branch of the medical art. This I have attempted to do in the following pages.

In my labor, I have not forgotten nor do I forget, now that my work is done - that I received from you my earliest and most important lessons in the study of medicine. I was then a young man; and, now that I am an Old one, it is to me a most pleasant office to ask your acceptance of this, the latest product of my professional life, and, with it, assurances of a grateful memory and a sincere respect.
