THE MARRIED WOMAN
PRIVATE MEDICAL COMPANION,
BY DR. A. M. MAUBICEACT,
PROFESSOR OF DISEASES OF WOMBS.
One hundredth Edition (500,000). 19iwo., pp. 250.
[ON FINE PAPER, EXTRA BIXDI5Q, f 1 00 ]
Every complaint to which a woman is subject, from girl-
hood to womanhood, as also as wife and as mother, are ful-
ly described, with'the causes, the symptoms, and also pro-
per mode of treatment, in a plain, simply, but in the m«st
chaste language, easily understood. And thus every wo-
man can discover, by comparing her own symptoms with
those described, the nature, character, and causes of her
complaint; and be spared much anxiety and suffering.
The wife about becoming a mother has often need ef
instruction and advice of the utmost importance to her
future health, in respect to which her sensitiveness for-
bids consulting a medical gentleman, vrill find such in-
struction and advice, and also explain many symptoms
which otherwise would occasion anxiety or alarm.
How many are suffering from obstructions or irregulari-
ties peculiar to Ihe female system, which undermine the
health, the effects of which they are ignorant, and for
which their delicacy forbids seeking medical advice ? How
many suffer from prolapsus uteri (fallirg of the womb),
or itomfiuor albw(weakness,debility, Ac.)? How many
are in constant agony for many months preceding confine-
ment? How many have difficult, if not dangerous deliv-
eries, and slow and uncertain recoveries ? Some whose
lives are hazarded during such time, will each find in its
pages the means of prevention, amelioration and relief.
How many bitter moments, how much anguish, might
have been spared to the sufferer, to her husband, to her
relatives, by the timely possession of this little volume.
It is impracticable to convey fully the various subjects
treated of, as they are of a nature strictly intended for
the married, or those contemplating marriage.
But no husband, wife or mother are excusable if they
•till continue in ignorance of those physiological laws, by
the knowledge of which their own health and happiness,
as also the future well-being of their children, are secured.

ble popular Medical

treatment of complaints peculiar to females, in respect to
which he is yearly consulted by thousands.
In consequence of the universal popularity of the work,

rious editions, and surreptitious infringements of copy-
right, as well upon booksellers as upon the public; it has
