Excerpt from Supplement to Howard's Domestic Medicine, Being a Practical Treatise on Midwifery and the Diseases Peculiar to Women: Giving Elaborate Instructions in All That Pertains to the Structure, Functions and Health of the Organs of Generation

We deem it important that these general principles should be known and well understood, especially by females themselves. They are the victims Of many peculiar painful maladies, hereto fore considered by medical writers, and hence by females them selves. As of a most dangerous if not incurable character. Hence, in almost all those complaints peculiar to women, and especially at the time of labor, they feel a solicitude and anxiety of which but few, perhaps, Of the other sex, aie sensible; and this anxiety has been rendered more painful and intense by the mysteries which professional ambiguity has thrown around the causes by which it is produced. All know, however, that death, from some cause or other, will take place, sooner or later; it is a consequence dependent upon our peculiar organization, as well as upon that law which proclaims an eternal mutation of matter. But we must confess that we have found the diseases Of women quite as much under the control Of medicine as those which are common to both sexes.
