Opinions of the Press.

"A very valuable compendium for all who expect to become mothers.--In the short preface prefixed to this little work, Dr. Bull judiciously remarks, that feelings of delicacy often prevent many young married females from making to their medical attendant, a full disclosure of the circ.u.mstances connected with their state, and which render medical a.s.sistance necessary. The object of the work is to meet this difficulty, by furnishing a species of information for which married women are often very unwilling to ask, although they readily search for it in books. The matter of Dr. Bull's treatise is arranged completely in a popular form--in one that is best calculated to be understood by the fair readers to whom it is addressed; and contains a variety of useful information, so clearly conveyed as to render it a very valuable compendium for all women who expect to become mothers."--Lancet.

"A valuable monitor to the fair s.e.x. It contains so much useful advice for every woman likely to become a mother, that married men would do well to provide it for their partners."--Spectator.

"This little volume is the benevolent contribution of good sense and professional skill, to the well-being of those who have the strongest claims on our sympathy. Unfortunately a vast ma.s.s of erroneous notions exists in the cla.s.s to whom it is addressed; to which, and to the concealment prompted by delicacy, until the time for medical aid is gone by, we are indebted for very much of the danger and suffering incident to the periods they are destined to pa.s.s through. Dr. Bull, in the true spirit of a physician and a gentleman, has by his perspicuous statements removed the first, and by his judicious and simple directions, antic.i.p.ated the last of these fruitful sources of evil.

There is no mother that will not be heartily thankful that this book ever fell into her hands; and no husband who should not present it to his wife. We cannot urge its value too strongly on all whom it concerns."--Eclectic Review.

"We recommend it to our readers; and they will confer a benefit on their new-married patients by recommending it to them."--British and Foreign Medical Review.

"Dr. Bull has performed a very kind and important office in the publication before us."--Patriot.

"We never read any popular treatise, or directions rather, that bear more strongly the stamp of scientific and expert mental knowledge. The mere reading of our Author's book will do more good in the way of encouraging the fearful, and banishing nervous anxiety, than a whole conclave of the wisest and most sanguine matrons that society can anywhere bring together."--Monthly Review.

"This little manual will prove useful exactly in proportion to the extent of its circulation."--Medical Gazette.
