STARTLING, BUT TRUE I
WARNING TO EVERY SENSIBLE WQVIAN.
WHY FEMALES SUFFER CI HEALTH.
No woman of delicacy ix willing to dlacloae tie pecn.
liar ailment* Incident to her box, even to a most htlnmto
family physician.
This modesty and delicacy Is Implanted 1V nature,
and neither should nor reed be subjected tome rude
shocks Inevitable In making known to the I her sex
those ailments belonging exclusively to the fcdkle.
Kxocpt In extreme cases, her sensitiveness gill sacri
fice her health rather than her delicacy. J '
The consequences are serious, and Mo-
Thus what at first could have been easily remedied,
or perhaps letter still, not Incurred, lfoewnra a compli
cation of diseases, not only ruining the health of the
mother, and embittering her days by sickness and Buf
fering, but entailing broken constitutions upon her
children, and embarrassing, if not distressing, the bad
ness and pecuniary prospects of the husband. Let every
sensible woman
TAKE WARNING IN TIME,
(us thousands have done) by tho bitter exporioncn and
sufferings of others, of the drondful oonseouenoes she
entails upon horsolr and those endeared to her, by her
Ignorance of the simplest and plainest rules of health ns
connected with the marriage state, the violation of
which entails disease, suffering, and misery.
How many nre suticrtng from obstructions or Irregu
larities peculiar to the female tyatero, which undermine
the health, the effects of which they are ignorant, and
for which their delicacy forbids seeking medical ad
vice I llow many suffer from pndapoum uteri (fulling of
tho womb), or from Jluur albus (weakness, debility, &c )|
llow many ore In constant agony for many months pre
ceding confinement 1 JTow many have difficult, If not
deliveries, and slow and uncertain recoveries!
To fho question, mow arc these to be prevented I what
shall !c done! the answer Is simple.
Let every woman ascertain lor herself, without vio
lence to her delicacy, the nature and character of tho
ailment (to which she as a female is aubjoct). the cauaQi
from which It may arise, and tho proper remedies for
its cure and future pro vent ion.
This she can do by possessing a lllt'.o volume (aire ply

Extract of a Utter from a gentleman in Dayton, Ohio.
Dayton, May 1, 1847.
Dr. A. M. Mauriceau:
" Aly wife has been perceptibly sinking for some three
years or more, In consequence of her great anguish and
suffering some months before and during confinement
every successive one inore and more debilitated and
prostrated her, putting her lifo in imminent danger, and
which was on tno lost occasion despaired of. I supposed
that this stato of things was inevitable, and resigned
myself to meet the worst. At this time (now about two
months), I heard your book highly spoken of, as con
taining some matters reaching my case. On Its receipt
and perusal, I cannot express to you the relief it afforded
my distressed mind, udl thy .joy its pages Imparted to
my wife, on learning Triat fno great discovery of M. M.
Desomenux provided a remedy. It opened a prospect
to roe which 1 little conceived was possible. No |ecu
nlary consideration can ever repay the obligations I am
under to yon, for having bcon the means of imparting to
us tlio nuitters contained in "The Married Woman's
Private Medical Companion." But fi-r this, ere another
year would have passed over my hed. in all human
probability my wilo would have been iu her grave aud
my children left motherless."
In conseqnence of tho universal popularity of tho
work, as evidenced by Its extraordinary sale, various im
positions have been attempted, ns well on booksellers ns
on tho public, by imitations of title page, spurious edi
tions, and surreptitious Infringements of copyright, and
other devices and deceptions, it Las been found necessary
therefore
TO CAUTION THE PUBLIC
to buy no book unless tho words "Dr. A. M. Macei
