SAUNDERS COMPANY PHILADELPHIA PREFACE THE recent development of obstetric surgery has reached a point where it seemed to the writer that a concise statement of methods of operating in obstetrics at the present time might be of service to the profession. The effort has been made to condense the subject matter. Bibliographies have been added for the convenience of those who may wish to consult the literature. The writer desires to express his thanks for permission, given by recent writers upon the subject, to reproduce their illustrations. 250 SOUTH TWENTY-FIRST STREET, E. P. D. PHILADELPHIA, PA.
