Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Directions for the Use of Dr. C. B. Barrett's Guardian, in Connection With His Medico-Electro Galvanometer, for the Treatment and Removal of Certain Diseases Incidental to Women
IN presenting this Work to the public, intended as it chie?y is, for the female portion of the community, as a guide to the preservation of their health by the use of the guardian, which accompanies it, the sterner sex will find directions laid down which in many particulars as much concerns them in the treatment of pulmonary and other diseases, to which they are subject, and in which the curative process is precisely the same.
It is almost a rare thing to find a female among us who enjoys perfect and uninterrupted health. And perhaps it is still rarer to find one, who, up to the age of 45, is without some prominent marks of old age. Defective teeth, gray hairs, wrinkles, lustreless eyes, a feeble step, a faltering voice - one or all of these symptoms or tokens of advancing age - begin, ere then, to show themselves. This ought not so to be. It is wrong, it is wicked, that we tolerate the causes of it - Not that the unhappy victim is always guilty No, she has perhaps done as she was taught, done as well as she knew how. Still, such are the laws of Nature, and the ordinance of God, that violence done to our constitution, whether Wittingly or unwittingly, must inevitably meet its appropriate retribution.
