beings, with human functions and passions, sub
ject tc great arrangement, involving our future
peace and happiness-in all that concerns the
health and welfare OF the wife OF our affections,
and the mother Of our children, in all that con-

eyes 10 the results Of physiological science by
which we may arrive al an understanding OF our
selves as men and women, subject TO serious life
ong enduring diseases, and perpetuating them
