| Summary: | "The advice I am about to offer to my fair reader is of the greatest importance, and demands her deepest attention.

A woman, born with every perfection, to be full of bodily infirmities! It was ordained by the Almighty that wives should be fruitful and multiply! Surely there must be something wrong in the present system if they do not do so! It will, in the following pages, be my object to point out many of the causes of so much ill-health among wives; ill-health that sometimes leads to barrenness; and to suggest remedies both for the prevention and for the cure of such causes"--Introduction.
