FULLERTON.

** The immediate success of Dr. Fullerton's "Handbook of Obstetric Nursing," a fourth edition of which has just been published, has encouraged her to prepare this manual on another and very important branch of the science and art of nursing.

For both the physician and nurse this book presents the important points in clear and impressive way."
