    WOMAN'S EAJTD-BOOE IN HEA.UTH -A.1XT33 DISEASB. A Popular Treatise on the Functions and Diseases of Woman) a\ ith the most Approved Hygienic and Medical Treatment) By LUCIEN C. WARNER, A.M., M.D., Member of the New York County Medical Society, &c. PP VTCFTi SNft FNT UPPfifi J By «■ Member of the Medical Staff of the New York IUjUOLiU i\aU Uahl\f\.\mU ] state Woman's Hospital, New York City. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.—Hosea iv., 6. This work treats of the different phases of woman's life, as girl, maid- en, wife and mother, describing her peculiar organization and functions, and the hygienic means by which she may secure beauty, health and happi- ness. It also treats of the various diseases peculiar to woman, explaining at length their causes, means of prevention, and the hygienic and medicinal remedies adapted to their home treatment. The articles on puberty, mens- truation, change of life, marriage, pregnancy, and the rearing of infants, are much more complete and reliable than anything upon these subjects yet offered to those not medically educated. This book is offered to the public in the confident belief that it will be found much superior to any similar work yet published. We would espe- cially call attention to the following features : Scientific Accuracy.—The author is a physician of thorough educa- tion and extensive experience, and the facts which are here communicated have in nearly every instance been verified by his own experiments, obser- vation or practice. No narrow hobby or pathy is advocated, but whatever is valuable in preserving or restoring the health is recommended without reserve. Moral Tone.—The most delicate topics are discussed with clearness, and yet with such chasteness of language that it cannot offend the most fastidious. No information has been given or illustration introduced, for the purpose of pandering to a perverted taste and corrupt imagination; nor, on the other hand, have anv facts been withheld which are essential to the physical or moral well-being of mankind. Adaptation.—The extensive experience of the author as lecturer upon physiology and kindred subjects, has brought him into intimate ref- lations with the people, and has enabled him to understand the wants of the public better, probably, than any other physician in the country. Many of the topics treated in this book will be found in no other medical work. The Style is easy, chaste and attractive. Scientific terms are generally discarded, and the facts communicated are clothed in common every-day langu t<je which all can understand. CONDITIONS.—This book will contain 358 pages. Crown 8vo. with numerous Illustrations. [In a Special Pocket]. Printed on fine paper, bound in the best English cloth. Price *B2 00 AGENTS WANTED. Copies sent by mail on receipt of price.
