Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Woman in Girlhood, Wifehood, Motherhood: Her Responsibilities and Her Duties at All Periods of Life; A Guide in the Maintenance of Her Own Health and That of Her Children
It is to supply the information that keeps a woman well and happy and guides her in bringing up a family strong in body, in mind and in morals, that this book has been written. The proper person to instruct a woman in many of these matters no doubt is her family physician. But the busy practitioner seldom can take the time to discuss the details of right living and explain how disease is to be pre vented. These things he, too, leaves to chance. In fact, the doctor is seldom consulted except to treat some one who is sick, and then must spend his whole time in getting the patient well. After she has allowed the doctor to depart, how often does the young mother or the sick girl recollect something about which she had neglected to ask advice! Thus it happens that for directions about the details of her life, when sick and well, a woman must rely upon an accurate book which she can consult at all times. Un fortunately, many of the books sold as health guides for women are unreliable and of a doubtful character. Pre tending to be physiological, they are in reality prurient and suggestive, and cater to a depraved taste. In this book the endeavor IS made to give all the information a woman requires for any of the emergencies that may occur during her own life and for the preservation of health and beauty. The author has used simple language throughout, avoiding technical terms, and has endeavored to make the statements so plain and clear as to be easily understood by every one. At the same time he has written only what is in accordance with the latest scientific knowledge. More over, in giving advice, he has avoided generalities and has made his directions pointed and definite.
