the Physiology of her system, and all the dis.
eases of her Critical Periods. BY Edward II.
Dixon, NJ. d., editor Of the Scalpel, consulting
and operating Surgeon, author of "A Treatise
on the Early Decay Of American Women"
Diseases of the Sexual System" &c.
This volume was written for the sole object
Of aifordng Woman the means of instructing
herself in knowledge OF the laws of life and
health peculiar to her physical structure, an
acquaintance with which is indispensable to
her happiness and welfare. This is truth felt
and appreciated by every intelligent mind
1t is believed that, to the great proportion Of
American women, instruction of the kind i'm
parted by this work is very imperfecty under
stood; of the imperative necessity of such
knowledge there cannot exist a doubt in the
mind of any woman Of mature years. This
book was not written for the Medical profes.
sion, nor is it designed to make woman her
own physician, but simply to inform her Of
those general laws governing the female sys-
tenn which every woman ought to be acquaint-
ed with.
Price One Dollar.
Agents wanted to sell this work in all parts
