Excerpt from Obstetrics for Nurses Although this book is intended primarily for nurses, the author believes that medical students will find something of value in it, since the duties of a nurse often devolve upon them in their early years of obstetric practice. There are really two subjects considered in the book, - obstetrics for nurses and the actual obstetric nursing, - and the author has sought to combine them so that the relations of one to the other might be natural and mutually helpful in presenting this branch of medicine in a clear and interesting form. The illustrations are nearly all original, and were made expressly for the work. The photographs were taken by the author from actual scenes, and the reader is invited to study the details, as especial care was taken to render the pictures true to life in every respect. The text is the outgrowth of eight years' lecturing to the nurses of four different training schools. For the preparation of the dietary the author acknowledges his thanks to Mrs. E. E. Koch, Superintending Nurse of the Chicago Lying-in Hospital, and for the chapter on the Infant's Layette he is indebted to Miss Katherine DeWitt, who does private nursing for many of his cases.
