Of the courses, their various irregularities, as suppression, obstruction, immoderate flux, suppuration, complication with other diseases, &c. Of the hysteric disease, or vapours, and all hypochondriacal disorders: also of the green sickness, and furor uterinus. Of the wh[i]tes, the piles, relaxations of the uterus and fundament, swellings, ulcers, and other uterine affections. Of the generative parts in a woman; with an account of generation and conception, and other curious particulars relating to the use of the marriage-bed.

With variety of proper remedies, in words at length, adapted to each particular case, agreeably to the best modern practice: by the help of which any maid or woman, who can read English, may not only come at a true knowledge of her indisposition, but be enabled to cure it without applying, or even discovering her condition, to any person living. Also, a compleat index, an explanation of difficult terms, and a copious preface, including a pathetick address to all fashionable mothers, in behalf of themselves and their tender off-spring.
