Description: a READING COPY of "The Married Woman's Private Medical Companion" by Dr. A M Mauriceau.this is the 1854 printing i believe; each printing had a slightly different embossed pattern on the cover.this book covers all the important things a woman should know about her body and wifely duties, although it is quite progressive and open about women's health, especially for the time.Dr Mauriceau goes over menstruation, and how to identify and handle issues with either too much or too little bleeding,sexual health, anecdotes of medical cases, pregnancy, complications and treatment, childbirth, after care, sexually transmitted diseases, and birth control methods.he also has advertisements in his book for buying pills and condoms from him...and in case you were also wondering his advertised $5/dozen condoms equals out to about $191 in today's dollars (yes i realize they were probably lambskin, but still).also, just a reminder that you hopefully don't need: please don't use or make the medicines prescribed in this book. lead and laudanum are probably not the best things to take when you're nursing/pregnant/may-become-pregnant. or ever.
