Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 1869.Dr. Geo. H. Napheys—Dear Sir: I have examined your volume: “The Physical Life of Woman,” and desire to thank you for performing a work so long needed, so difficult to perform, and now, at length, so well done by you. Every mother should have this book, nor should she suffer a child to be married without the knowledge which this work contains. Thousands have dragged through miserable lives and many have perished for want of such knowledge. It is to be hoped, too, now that these delicate topics have been so modestly and plainly treated, that your work will supersede the scores of ill-considered and often mischievous treatises addressed “to the married,” which too often serve the lusts of men under the pretence of virtue.HENRY WARD BEECHER.

Hartford, Conn., Sept. 1869.Geo. H. Napheys, M.D.—Dear Sir: I have read a large part of your book with interest. I shrink from expressing any estimate of it as respects its physiological merit, but it seems to be a book well studied, and it is written with much delicacy and a careful respect, at all points, to the great interests of morality. It will certainly be a great help to intelligence on the subject, and ought, therefore, to be correspondingly useful.Very respectfully yours,HORACE BUSHNELL.

Chestnut,Philadelphia, Sept. 1869.It is an open question whether books desecretis mulierumshould be written for the general public; but there is no doubt that, when they are written, it should be done by the regular faculty, and not by ignorant quacks. Dr. Napheys' “Physical Life of Woman” shows not only the scientific attainments of the author, but also a wide range of miscellaneous reading. The delicate subjects treated of are handled with a seriousness and earnestness becoming their importance, and the author's views are expressed in excellent English.LLOYD P. SMITH.

I have carefully examined “The Physical Life of Woman,” and find it a work at once thoroughly representing modern science, and eminently adapted for family instruction. It is well suited to female readers, to whom it is especially addressed both in the matter it contains and in the delicacy with which points relating to their physiological life are mentioned.S. W. BUTLER.

We join in the cordial welcome which this book has received. There is no other work which tells so well just what every woman—and every considerate man also—ought to know. Maternity is the one great function of woman, according to God's ordinance, and for this marvelous and holy mission her physical, intellectual, and moral constitution has been designed. Dr. Napheys, in his wise “Advice to maiden, wife, and mother,” passes in review the cardinal facts respecting woman's physical life. The book is written in a very clear and simple style, so that no one can misunderstand it, while there is nothing to disturb or offend the most sensitive. A judicious mother would do her maturing daughters great service by first carefully reading this volume herself, and then have them read it under her guidance.

Elmira, N. Y., Sept. 1869.The advance sheets of “The Physical Life of Woman” have been read with much interest. In this book Dr. Napheys has well met a real need of the age. There are many things incident to woman's physical organization which she needs to know, and concerning which she still does not want to ask a physician, and may not have one at hand when she most desires the information. This book can be easily read and perfectly understood by those not familiar with medical terms. All matters of delicacy are treated with freedom, and still with a purity of thought and expression which is above criticism.For many years we have been often asked for just such a book, and shall gladly commend it to the many wives and mothers who want for themselves and grown-up daughters such a book of helps and hints for home life.Mrs.R. B. GLEASON.

“Your book is conscientiously written, and will be likely to do good.”
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.

It is a singular fact, that in this country, most of the works on medical and hygienic matters have been written by irregular practitioners in order to help on its legs some ism or pathy of their own. The public is really desirous of information about the great questions of life and health. It buys whatever is offered it, and cannot tell of course the tares from the wheat. In fact, as we have said, there has been very little wheat offered it. Scientific physicians do not seem to have taken the pains in this country, as in Germany, to expand sound medical information among the people.We therefore welcome all the more warmly a work which, under any circumstances, would command our praise, advance sheets of which are now before us. The author is Dr. George H. Napheys, of this city, well known to all the readers of the “Reporter” as a constant contributor to its pages for a number of years, a close student of therapeutics, and a pleasing writer. The title of the book is “The Physical Life of Woman: advice to the Maiden, Wife, and Mother.” It is a complete manual of information for women, in their peculiar conditions and relations, married and single.The style is simple, agreeable, and eminently proper and delicate, conspicuously so when treating of such difficult topics to handle in a popular book, yet so necessary to be handled, as the marital relations of husband and wife, the consummation of marriage, etc.We do not doubt that this work will find as large a sale both in and out of the profession in this country, as the works of Bock and Klencke in Germany, and of Tilt and Chavasse in England.

The outside of this book is more stylish and artistic than any the market has owed to the press this season. The type and paper of the inside are in keeping with the elegant exterior. The work contains much valuable matter, in a style peculiarly attractive. It is intended to treat woman as a rational being, to let her know much about herself as a woman, that from this knowledge she may prevent and therefore escape much of the suffering endured by her sex.And who can do this but a physician? This may be regarded as the first attempt of the kind in this country.

Doctor Napheys, in his work on “The Physical Life of Woman,” has acquitted himself with infinite credit. The subject, which for a work of its size takes a very wide range, is treated in choice, nay elegant language, and we have not noticed a single expression upon the most delicate matter that could offend the most refined taste. There are, too, a great many interesting historical facts connected with the general topic, both in an ethical and physiological point of view, which show much discrimination in their production, and a good amount of sterling scholarship. To the medical reader there are many points in the book that are worthy of attention, prominent among which are remarks bearing upon the right of limitation of offspring. We sincerely hope that, for the real benefit of American women, it may meet with a hearty reception, and be productive of great good, in preventing many of those disorders now so rife in the community, which are solely the result of ignorance of the ordinary laws of female hygiene.No one, however scrupulous, need fear to admit the work within the pale of his family circle, and place it, with confidence, in the hands of his daughters.

Though professedly written for popular instruction, this little book will not fail to instruct as well the professional reader. We cordially recommend the perusal of Dr. Napheys' book to every woman seeking a fuller acquaintance with her physical organism.

Most valuable for the perusal of mothers, and of those fathers who may be equal to the task of advising sons liable to commit matrimony. The style—of the text—is unexceptionable. Words are not wasted, and those used are to the point. The volume is not a mereresuméof others' opinions; but the author has made the topics of which he treats his own.

This work is written in a plain and pleasing style, well calculated both to please and instruct. There is nothing of thesensationalor imaginative character in it. On the contrary, its teachings are in strict accordance with scientific facts and good sense. Though designed specially for females, yet a careful perusal would be productive of much benefit to both sexes.

Hitherto, the subjects so honestly and so skilfully treated in this volume have, to a very great extent, been ruled out of the realm of popular knowledge, and information of this class sought only in a clandestine manner. The people have suffered by deplorable ignorance on those topics, which should be as familiar to us as the alphabet. Dr. Napheys, by his scientific handling of the physiological points which relate to health, training, and development, has rendered a great service to the world. This, the press, and public men, have not been slow to acknowledge. The book has gained unqualified praise, and well deserves it.

A book which treats wisely and delicately of very important subjects, and subjects which ought to be treated by competent hands, instead of being left to quacks and the venders of nostrums. Dr. Napheys is evidently a conscientious and intelligent physician, and his counsels are such as may be put in the hands of all persons needing such counsels. We commend it for its judicious exposition of the laws of nature.

Society owes a debt of gratitude to this brave and scientific physician for the unexceptionable way in which he has performed a work that has, up to the publication of this book, been a paramount need, not to be satisfied anywhere in the English language. If the volume contained only the chapter on the influence of the mother's mind upon her unborn child, we would recommend its purchase by every family in the United States.

This is a work by a physician of reputation on the hygiene of woman, designed for popular use, and introducing a variety of topics not generally discussed outside of regular scientific medical works. Dr. Napheys writes with dignity and earnestness, and there is not a chapter in his book that may not be read by persons of both sexes. Of course such a work as this is intended for men and women of mature years, and it is not suitable to be left lying about for the gratification of idle curiosity. The author has been careful to write nothing that can possibly give offence, and he conveys much sound instruction that, if heeded by those to whom it is particularly addressed, will save much suffering.

It required a brave but sensitively pure man to provide for the want which existed for some reliable medical instruction upon points which every woman and every married man ought to know, and few do. Dr. Napheys we do not know personally. But his book is at once brave and pure. It is written in such a spirit that she who really desires to learn the truths of which she cannot with justice to herself or others be ignorant, may do so without being shocked; while he who hopes to stimulate a vicious imagination by its perusal will turn from its pages disappointed away.

Dec. 2, 1871.It is with sincere gratitude to the author that I give my endorsement to the book entitled “The Physical Life of Woman.” Never was such a work more needed anywhere, or in any age, than it is in America at this time. I should rejoice at its introduction among the people until every wife and mother in the country and the world had a copy in her possession. In it the author has indeed given needed instruction and warning. He deserves the thanks of every Christian and well-wisher of the race.W. H. H. MURRAY.
