PHYSICAL LIFE OF WOMAN.
FROM THE PRESBYTERIAN OF PHILADELPHIA,
DEC. 4, 1869.
A book which treats wisely and delicately of very important
subjects, and subjects which ought to be treated by competent
nands, instead of being left to quacks and the venders of nos¬
trums. Dr. Napheys is evidently a conscientious and intelli¬
gent physician, and his counsels are such as may be put in the
hands of all persons needing such counsels. We commend it
for its judicious exposition of the laws of nature.

Sunday-school Union.
Hartford, Ct., Oct., 1869.
Geo. H. Naphets, M.D.—
My Dear Sir: Understanding from my long acquaintance
with you, your thoroughness of mental culture, your delicacy
of sentiment, and your sound good sense, I was prepared to
approve heartily the tone and style of your new work—“ The
Physical Life of Woman ”—when its advance sheets were first
placed in my hands.
A close examination of it convinces me that it is a book
which can be read by every woman to her instruction and
advantage. Its manner is unexceptionable. Its style is
remarkably simple. Its substance evidences N«ur professional
knowledge and your extensive study. I beii«*^> it needs only
to be brought to notice to commend itseli widely. I think
you have done an excellent work in its preparation.
Sincerely your friend,
H. CLAY TRUMBULL.

Society owes a debt of gratitude to this brave and scientific
physician for the unexceptional way in which he has performed
a work that has, up to the publication of this book, been a
paramount need, not to be satisfied anywhere in the English
language. If the volume contained only the chapter on the in¬
fluence of the mother’s mind upon her unborn child, we would
-ecommend its purchase by every family in the land.
