Excerpt from Clinical Obstetrics The illustrative cases given have, with very few exceptions, been treated by myself. I have given a fairly large number in connection with cardiac disease, in order to illustrate, as' far as possible, the different lesions. This condition is very inads quately dealt with in most text-books, and I have, therefore, treated of it at some length. As regards eclampsia, I have given full records of twenty-one cases, so that each reader may be able to form his own conclusions. In my hands the treatment by saline infusions has given very satisfactory results, and I can with confidence recommend it. I am deeply indebted to Dr. W. E. Fothergill for his kindness in allowing me the use of so many of his plates; to Dr. W. S. Playfair, Sir J. Halliday Croom, and Dr. Berry Hart, also for the use of plates; to Dr. John Lindsay for many admirable drawings to Messrs. J. Gardner and Son and Messrs. A. Young and Son for the illustrations of instruments; to Dr. G. Balfour Marshall for photographs of the application of forceps to Professor mcphail, of St. Mungo's College, for the water-colour drawing of the liver; to Drs. John Brownlee and James Todd for notes of fever cases to Dr. James Adam for notes and plates of his interesting case of exstrophy of the bladder to my various. Residents who have so carefully reported the cases; and to Dr. Carstairs C. Douglas for his kindness in examining and reporting on specimens, and also in reading the proofs with me.
