ADVERTISEMENT TO THE READER.
THE Bookseller designing another Edi∣tion of this Midwifry, took care to have the Anatomick part compleated, and the whole Enlarged considerably, as may ap∣pear to any one that will compare the Fourth Edition with this.
It is a plain and useful Treatise of Mid∣wifry, and is moreover stock'd with great variety of approved Remedies for the Disea∣ses of Women and Children, and therefore may well deserve to be accounted the best Book extant upon this Subject.
