Excerpt from Hints in the Obstetric Procedure

He would earnestly urge upon those who propose to practise obstetrics, that they should make themselves thoroughly masters of the science and the art, that they may respond to each call to the lying-in chamber with a proper feeling of confidence in their knowledge and skill, and at the same time a true appreciation of the great responsibility they thus assume.

The great bug-bear Meddlesome Midwifery has too long acted to deter the physician from the performance of his duty as the aid, the assistant of nature in this sacred act of the wife and mother.

It is a great source of regret that so many of our brethren, even of those who have but recently emerged from the care of the fathers in medicine, still adhere to exploded dogmas and old wives' fables, and are too ready to allow the parturient woman to be guided by the ideas, and even follies, of those around her.
