    Obstetric nursing moves forward with obstetric medi¬ cine. In this the tenth edition of my book for nurses I have sought to keep abreast of all advances in obstetric nursing technic, and have also increased the pages devoted to purely scientific matters. The new Aschheim-Zondek test for pregnancy is de¬ scribed and the latest theories of hormonal activity men¬ tioned. Some old illustrations were redrawn and several new ones added. . Dr. George W. Kosmak’s Syllabus for Teaching Ob¬ stetrics was kept in mind—but the book was made more complete than this so that it would be useful to the ad¬ vanced nurse and the teacher, as well as the pupil nurse.. As always the emphasis is placed on the care of obstetrics in the home. Two million one hundred thousand babies are born in the United States every year,, and 1,500,000 are bom in their own homes. Therefore while hospital methods are fully described, those needful in the home receive more particular notice. Dr. Arthur F. Abt of Chicago kindly revised and ampli¬ fied the chapter on Infant Feeding, giving the very latest advances in this art. It is now twenty-nine years since the first edition of this work appeared and I am grateful to the nursing profession for the cordial reception it received at that time, and for the numerous expressions and evidences of good will an loyalty that have been given me throughout this long period. _ T Joseph B.
