This work marks in its own line the opening of a new epoch. Hitherto such works have been devoted to treatment and a study of the abnormal; here these subjects yield precedence to prevention and a common-sense exposition of the normal. The author, imbued with the spirit of modern preventive medicine, points out the errors and abuses of modern life (so easily avoided and yet so easily yielded to) which affect injuriously the health of women and children. At the same time he clearly assists the mother and others to understand the physiology of womanhood and motherhood, the care of the infant and young girl and the detection and treatment of common complaints. The subjects of heredity, environment, education and schools, the home-training of children, the physical development of the body and the position of woman in modern life, are among the topics of the day which are touched upon in a new light in this concisely written book. Each of its three sections, Girlhood, Motherhood and Infancy, provides the mother, the schoolmistress, and the intelligent nurse with a fascinating and easily understood guide and high ideals.

The Lover’s World
By Alice B. Stockham, M. D.
Through a long medical practice, extensive travel and many years of research, Dr. Stockham has come to know the heart of humanity. She now returns this knowledge in a message to all lovers. Love is the expression of the divine in man! Love of self, Love between man and woman, Love of child, Love of friends and comrades, and finally the love of the race, each and all are expressions of Cosmic or Universal Love. The man seeking a wife seeks her through his love nature; in this work he is directed to seek wisely. The woman, no more a child, learns that natural desires and functions should be dedicated to sacred uses. “The Lover’s World” not only contains everyday helps for everyday needs, but gives the key to life, revealing the secret of adepts and mystic orders. These, as herein presented, are no more secrets, but knowledge of faculties and functions giving power, health and happiness.
