| A NEW AND MUCH-NEEDED BOOK. |
| |
| MATERNITY |
| |
| A POPULAR TREATISE |
| |
| For Young Wives and Mothers |
| |
| BY T. S. VERDI, A. M., M. D., OF WASHINGTON, D. C. |
| |
| Dr. VERDI is a well-known and successful Homoeopathic |
| Practitioner, of thorough scientific training and large |
| experience. His book has arisen from a want felt in his own |
| practice, as a Monitor to Young Wives, a Guide to Young |
| Mothers, and an assistant to the family physician. It deals |
| skilfully, sensibly, and delicately with the perplexities of |
| early married life, as connected with the holy duties of |
| Maternity, giving information which women must have, either |
| in conversation with physicians, or from such a source as |
| this--evidently the preferable mode of learning, for a |
| delicate and sensitive woman. Plain and intelligible, but |
| without offense to the most fastidious taste, the style of |
| this book must commend it to careful perusal. It treats of |
| the needs, dangers, and alleviations of the time of travail; |
| and gives extended detailed instructions for the care and |
| medical treatment of infants and children throughout all the |
| perils of early life. |
| |
| As a Mother's Manual, it will hare a large sale, and as a |
| book of special and reliable information on very important |
| topics, it will be heartily welcomed. |
| |
| Handsomely printed on laid paper: bevelled boards, extra |
| English cloth, 12mo., 450 pages. Price $2.25. |
| |
| _For sale by all Booksellers, or will be sent post-paid on |
| receipt of the price by_ |
