Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1874-08-28

The National Publishing Comra-
ny, of Chicago, have just issued. a
very important and valuable work,
by Prot. o. S. Fowler, on Manhood,
Womanhood, and their Mutual Inter-
relations; Love, Its Laws, Power, etc.
1t is mastery exposition OF the
laws which control the relations of
the sexes, and their duties towards
each other, and it is not asserting too
much to pronounce it the most valu-
able and timely publication of the
age.
"Know thyself!'' was the profound
injunction Of the ancient sage, and it
is the neglect to comply with this
precept which causes all the misery
and sickness of the world. 1t is as
tonishing to find how utterly igno-
rant men and women, otherwise ac-
complished and intelligent, are con-
corning themselves. Husbands and
wives constantly feel the need OF
more light on the subject of their re-
lations to each other, especially con-
corning the great duty for which
marriage was instituted the begct-
ting and rearing Of a family.
1t is for the purpose of diffusing
this knowledge that. Professor Fowl
er has given to the world this work
on ''Sexual Science" which is simply
an explanation of the laws which gov
ern the sexes in their relations to
each other. He points out the du-
ties of husband and wives and dis
closes facts Of which no true man or
woman ought to be ignorant. He
lets us into the secret Of preserving
female health and beauty far into old
age, and shows how mothers can
avoid much of the suffering of bring
ing children into the world-a sub
ject in which every woman is inter-
ested, and how 'fcmale complaints"
may be avoided with ease and GER
tainty.
His book is pure and elevated in
its style and ideas, and furnishes a
practical solution Of many of the
most perplexing questions Of life. 1t
should be read by the young and
old, by the married and single, and
especially by those contemplating
marriage. 1t touches upon questions
and discusses them thoroughly, in
which every married person is inter
ested. The advice which it gives to
unhappy or indifferent husbands and
wives is sound and practical, and its
warnings to those who seek to pro-
mote pleasure at the expense of health
ought to be read by every one. The
terrible practice of CIRCULATING the
size of families" which prevails in
many parts of our country, is shown
in its true light, and we commend the
chapters concerning it to every
husband and wife.
All friends of morality and purity
in social life will hail the advent of
Professor Fowler's book with de-
light, and those who seek information
upon the curious and tragic features
of domestic life, those who would
study human nature stripped of its
marks and DISCUSSES, will find this
volume the best handbook in exis-
tence. Young men who value their
domestic happiness, should not fail
to read his remarks on the subject of
selecting wife, as the information it
contains is beyond value.
The book is a real blessing to the
public, and will be regarded rs such
by all who read it. The low price at
which it is issued brings it within the
reach Of all, and every person who
wants t. arrive at aproper understand
ing Of the true relation of the sexes,
should procure copy. 1t is sold by
subscription only, and Mr. +. b.
Downs, who is the authorized agent
for this section, is now canvassing
for it.
