    Reviews and Recommendations. “ Dr. Gardner claims a right to be heard, as a physician who has spe..„ twenty- five years in the almost exclusive study and practice of that particular branch of his profession known as the Diseases of Females; and as a man who feels deeply his responsibility to breast the tide of error, sin, and misery. . . . It is a sound, earnest book, written with purpose, knowledge, and feeling. The subject is of immense and urgent interest, and should be taken up by men of social position and professional eminence whose word has authority. There is, perhaps, no class of subjects on which the community at large needs more plain, wise teaching.”—New York Tribune. “You have done well, and I hail every attempt to lift np or hold back poor humanity from evil, as most praiseworthy.”—From Rev. Dr. John Todd, author of the Student’s Manual, &c. “The questions there discussed are exceedingly difficult to present in just the right view and with the true physiological intent. You have succeeded admirably —better than any other writer in my opinion.”—Dr. Nathan Allen. “Such important information is given in this book in reference to the more healthful bringing up of our daughters, morally and physically, and the relation of the sexes, that no parent will fail of reading every line in the book with the most absorbing interest. It is a boon to womankind.”—Hall's Journal of Health. “ There are laws stated in this work of Dr. Gardner, which no man or woman can forgive himself in the future tor not understanding and obeying now. Their ODeratinp concerns the very highest interests of the domestic and social state.” —Banner of Light. “ No one, young or old, should be without the important information it contains.”—Frank Leslie's Illustrated. Paper, There is no topic properly within the range of the title, that is not treated with competent authority and excellent discretion.”—N. Y. Herald. “ The author’s words are of great import, and deserve serious attention. They »re, too, so delicately chosen that they can give no offence to the most fastidious.” —Evening Post (Chicago). “Dr. Gardner speaks plainly of the growing fashionable vice of non-child¬ bearing, and the evils consequent thereupon to individuals and society. He feels earnestly as well as talks plainly, and it will be well if his warnings and ■uggestions are heeded.”—Commonwealth (Boston). “ It is unexceptionable in tone and calculated to be very useful in its advice. We hope it will be sold and read and its counsels heeded.”—Congregationalist. “ It is written in the best spirit, scientific and moral and it ought to be read by husbands and wives, and fathers and mothers.”—N. Y. Independent. “It is elevated in tone, thorough, and yet delicate in treatment.”—Hume Journal.
