    and ample directions for the domestic treatment of the Sexual Diseases of Wom- en, and of Pregnancy—for conducting them through a natural labor, and for their subsequent treatment; as well as for the requisite attention and care to be be- stowed upon infants. Directions also are given, by which to distinguish those pe- culiar cases of Pregnancy, Labor, and Child-bed Sickness, which will require the attendance of a Physician; and a careful compliance with which will save the fe- male from useless anxiety, and from much distress and abuse, in consequence of the ignorant but well-intended zeal of her friends or attendants. Any woman, (more particularly one who has brought forth children,) capable of understanding the English language, will be enabled, from an attentive perusal of this book, to give ne- cessary and safe assistance in most natu- ral cases, as well as to distinguish those for which professional advice should be procured.
