![EDITOR'S PREFACE. Ix preparing for the press the Second American Edition of Dr. Leishman's System of Midwifery the Editor has added such notes only as he believed would make the book more useful to the profession in this country. The additions are distinguished from the text by being inclosed in brackets, [—P.], and will be found chiefly in the chapters on the Y<v of the Forceps, Lactation, and the Puerperal Dis- 3. A chapter on Diphtheria of Puerperal Wounds has been added. and a few new illustrations have been introduced, representing the principal modifications of Obstetrical Instruments generally employed in this country. The Editor trusts that these additions will increase the usefulnes a work <>f which the value is attested by the simultaneous exhaustion of both the English and American Editions. J. S. P. L513 A.RCB Street, Philadelphia, December, L875.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21016112_0011.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
