Book Description

Excerpt from A Short Practice of Midwifery: Embodying the Treatment Adopted in the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin I am sure that Dr. Jellett's little book will prove acceptable to many practitioners and students who desire a succinct account of the methods adopted in the Rotunda Hospital, in the management of parturient women. In many particulars the views expressed are at variance with the rules laid down in most text-books, and I may here emphasise a few of these. It has been shown that, whereas in hospitals the introduction of antiseptics has been followed by most gratifying results, in private practice little if any improvement is observable.
