Female midwifery advocated; or the employment of men to attend women in childbirth, and in other delicate circumstances, shown to be a modern innovation, unnecessary, unnatural, and injurious to the physical welfare of the community, and pernicious in its influence on professional and public morality; and the whole proved by numerous facts, and the testimony of the most eminent physicians, in Boston, New York, and other places; and the education and employment of midwives recommended; together with remarks on the use and abuse of ether, and Dr. Channing's "Cases of inhalation of ether in labor."
