N2  - The appearance of six editions within fourteen years is sufficient proof that this book is popular. The author takes up the structure and forms of the birth canal and the baby, the mechanism of normal and abnormal labor, forceps operations, breech extraction, version, embryotomy, treatment of lacerations, operations for enlargingthe birth canal,such as espisiotomy, cervical incisions, metreurysis, symphysiotomy, abdominal cesarean section, delivery of twins, treatment of prolapse of the cord, and arms, conduct of cases of placenta praevia, manual removal of the placenta, treatment of abortion and uterine tamponade, and operations to interrupt pregnancy and produce sterilization. Most of the 281 illustrations appear in the author's two volume "Lehrbuch der Geburtshilfe," but they are excellent and highly instructive. The illustration of the breech hook should be omitted because it is dangerous. Like-wise, the drawing of the Credé expression of the placenta should be deleted for the same reason. Twenty pages
