Excerpt from Advice to Wives on the Management of Themselves, During the Periods of Pregnancy, Labour, and Suckling I have attempted to write in a clear, simple, unostentatious style. I have avoided all tech nicalities, as my object has been to write a useful book, containing information which every wife may understand. Advice to Wives was originally published with the second edition of Advice to Mothers. I have been induced to publish them sepa rately.
