Thermodynamic critical field curves have been measured for $La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4+\delta}$ over the full range of carrier concentrations where superconductivity occurs in order to determine changes in the normal state density of states with carrier concentration. There is a substantial window in the $H-T$ plane where the measurements are possible because the samples are both thermodynamically reversible and the temperature is low enough that vortex fluctuations are not important. In this window, the data fit Hao-Clem rather well, so this model is used to determine $H_c$ and $\kappa_c$ for each temperature and carrier concentration. Using N(0) and the ratio of the energy gap to transition temperature, $\Delta (0)/k_BT_c$, as fitting parameters, the $H_c vs T$ curves give $\Delta (0)/k_BT_c \sim 2.0$ over the whole range of $x$. Values of N(0) remain rather constant in the optimum-doped and overdoped regime, but drops quickly toward zero in the underdoped regime. .
