STARTLING, BUT TRUE!

Ko woman of delicacy Is willing lo dlsclow the pscis
Bur ailments Incident to her soi, ev en to s most lutlmsls
und delicacy In Implanted by nature, )
and neither should nor need be subjected to the rudo
chocks Inevitable In making known to the other sex
those ailment* belonging exclusively to the feumla
Xxoept in extreme cases, her sensitiveness will sacn
floe her health rather than her delicacy.
The ooneequenoee ere eerloue, lamentable, and 11 fo
us what at first could have been easily remedied,
or perhaps better still, not Incurred, becomes a compli
cation or diseases, not only ruining tho heulth of the
mother, end embittering her day* by sickness and suf
fering, but entailing broken constitutions upon her
children, and embarrassing. If not distressing, tho busi
neee and pecuniary prospects of the husband. luOt every
sensible woman
TAKE WARNING IN TIME,
<o* thousands have done) by the bitter experience and
sufferings of others, of the dreadful conseanenccs she
entails upon hernelr and those endeared to ner, by her
Ignorance of tho simplest and plainest rules of health as
connected with tho marriage state, the violation of
which entails disease, suffering, and misery.
How many are suflering from obstructions or Irregu
larities peculiar to the female system, which undermlno
the health, the effects of which they are Ignorant, and
fbr which their delicacy forbids seeking medical ad-
Tlce I How many suffer from prolarmu uteri (falling of
the womb), or from Jlour albus (weakness, debility, <kc.)l
How many are lu constant agony for many months pre
ceding confinement! How many have difficult, If not
dangerous deliveries, and slow and uncertain recoveries!
To tho question, how are these to be prevented f what
■ball be done! the Answer Is slinpla
Let every woman ascertain lor herself, without vio
lence to her delicacy, tho nature and character of tho
ailment (to which she as a frmale Is subject), the causes
ftom which It may arise, and the proper retncdice for
tte cure and future prevention.
Tills she can do by possessing a little volume (already
possessed by thousands), WHICH TELLS EVERY
WOMAN WHAT IS THE MATTER, AND
TELLS HER WHAT TO DO FOR IT, in simple
bat chaste words, and such its sho can understand.

the principal booksellers in the Unitod States. It woe
first published in 1847, since which time
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND COPIES
bare been sold, of which there were upwards of
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND SENT BY MAIL
attesting the high estimation In which it is held as THE
ONLY RELIABLE, popular medical

thousands, both In person and by letter.

Instruction and advice of tho utmost importance to her
Allure health, will find such Instruction and edvlce, and

It is of course Impracticable to convey fully the v.-v

Exttmi trf a Utter from a gentleman in Dayton, Ohio.
DATTON, May 1,1847.
Dr. A. M. Maurireau:
14 My wlfo has IHM>II pcrceptloly sinking for some three
years or more, in consequence of her great anguish and
suflering some months before and during couUncment:
every successive one more ami more d< bil'.uted and
prostrated her, nutting her life in Imminent danger, and
which waa on the last occa.- ' *paltvdof. 1 supposed
-that this state of things was inevitable, and resigned
any self to meet the worst. At this time (now about, two
tuonths), I heard your book highly s(x>ken of, as con
taining some matter* reaching my case. On Its receipt
and perusal, I cannot express to you the relief it afforded
luy distressed mind, and the joy its pages Imparted to
my wife, on learning that the greet discovery of M. M.
Desomenux provided a remedy. It oi>ened a prospect
to me which 1 little conceived was possible. No pecu
niary consideration con ever repay the obligations I am
under to you, for having been the means of imparting to
n* tho mutters contained In "The Married Woman's
Private Medical Com pan Ion." llut for this, ore another
year would have passed over my head, In all human
probability my wirb would have been In her gravo and
my children left motherless."
In consequence of tho universal popularity of tho
work* as evidenced l>y Its extraordinary sale, various im
positions have been attempted, as well on Ixioksellers as
n tho public, by Imitations of titlo page, spurious edi
tions, and surreptitious Infringements of copyright, and
other dovicc* and deceptions, Tt ha* been found m-coaary
therefore
