FROM THE N. Y. EVANGELIST, NOV. 18, 1869.
This is a plain and practical treatise, prepared by a physician of skill and experience, in which he aims to furnish information to women, in their peculiar conditions and relations, married and single, so as to enable them to preserve their own health, and perform their duties to themselves and their children. The most delicate subjects are treated in language so chaste as not to offend any pure mind.
OPINION OF DR. R. SHELTON MACKENZIE.
Philadelphia, Oct. 1869.
“Believing that such a work as Dr. Napheys' 'Physical Life of Woman,' giving a great deal of valuable information, explicitly and delicately, is likely to be of very essential importance to the fair sex, I cannot hesitate to express my favorable opinion of its object and execution.”
