Excerpt from Facts for Ladies: Beauty, Dining by Kinsley's, House Decoration, Health of Women and Children The last part of the book vies with all the rest in practical importance. Man know thyself is a good motto, but if the maidens and mothers of the world were better acquainted with their physical organism, and the simple secrets of health, they would spare themselves end less and unnecessary suffering, and the future races of men would be cast in a more heroic mold. This department covers the ground of Woman's Physical Structure - Maid enhood, Womanhood and Wifehood; Motherhood, Baby hood, Childhood; Diseases of Babyhood and Childhood; Diseases of Women; General Hygiene, etc. The eleven chapters of this medical department have the rare advan tage of presenting their various themes in plain, intelligible terms. Too frequently such matters are clothed in tech nical phraseology to such an extent that it is very difficult to clearly apprehend their real meaning.
