DeLEE’S OBSTETRICS
This work is used more extensively by nurses than any other book on
obstetrics. It really considers two subjects—obstetrics for nurses and
the actual obstetric nursing. A chapter of special value is that on
_massage of the breasts_, covering 20 pages, and showing you by lines
and arrows just exactly what directions the strokings should take. In
addition, you get the anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive
organs. The work contains 235 illustrations, many of them in colors.

DAVIS’ OBSTETRIC NURSING
In this work every phase of obstetric and gynecologic nursing is
considered. You get really two books in one, the first half being given
over entirely to _obstetric nursing_ in all its complications, and the
second to _gynecologic nursing_, and the special training it demands.
You are told how to manage a case from pregnancy right on to the care
of the baby. You are told just how to meet every emergency. There is
an entire section on _obstetric surgery_. The _Fifth Edition_ has been
thoroughly revised.

BOYD’S STATE REGISTRATION
For this new edition the entire work has been re-written, more than
doubled in size, and reset. You get a comparative summary of the laws
of the various States governing the registration of nurses, presented
in such form as to furnish a means of ready reference for the trained
nurse in choosing her field of activity. You get the requirements
for registration, the fees and their disposition, exceptions and
restrictions, violations and their penalties. This book tells you what
you have to do in any State.

a mixture, an ointment, a solution, a tincture, etc. Then a
classification of drugs according to their physiologic action, when
to administer drugs of the various classes, how to administer them,
and how much to give. Next, the individual drugs are taken up. For
