    TRANSIATOR'S NOTE. The treatise of Dr. Wiuckel is, in Germany, the standard authority in this branch of medicine, and will, I trust, prove a valuable addition to American medical literature, in that it presents in the most impartial manner the views of all the distinguished men who have contributed to a better appre- ciation of the pathology and treatment of the Diseases, of Childbed. In this American Edition it has been thought expedient to omit one or two of the cases, and a table showing the Condi- tion of the Genital Organs in 100 Lying-in Women at the time of their discharge from the Establishment. The space thus gained has been used to accommodate considerable addi- tions kindly made by the author to bring this Edition abreast of recent advances in medicine. The markings of the temperature have been converted from the Centigrade into the Fahrenheit system of notation. The decimal system of weights and measures has been retained with a view to familiarizing the Profession with this system, and thus aiding to secure its adoption in this country. To Dr. Arthur H. Nichols, of this city, I am indebted for a thorough revision of my manuscript. JAMES R. CHADWICK. Boston, March 1, 1876.
