By IREN-ffiUS P. DAVIS, M. D. 



18mo. Cloth, $1.25. 



" Many a woman whose childhood was bright with promise endures 

 an after-life of misery because, through a false delicacy, she remained 

 ignorant of her physical nature and requirements, although on all other 

 subjects she may be well-informed ; and so at length she goes to her 

 grave mourning the hard fate that has made existence a burden, and 

 perhaps wondering to what end she was born, when a little knowledge 

 at the proper time would have shown her how to easily avoid those 

 evils that have made her life a wretched failure."— i'>om Introduction. 



" A very useful book for parents who have daughters is ' Hygiene 

 for Girls,' bylrenseusP. Davis, M. D., publishedby D. Appleton& Co. 

 And it is just the book for an intelligent, well-instructed girl to read 

 with care. It is not a text-book, nor does it bristle with technical 

 terms. But it tells in simple language just what girls should do and 

 not to do to preserve the health and strength, to realize the joys, and 

 prepare for the duties of a woman's lot. It is written with a delicacy, 

 too, which a mother could hardly surpass in talking with her daugh- 

 ter."— CAmiiaw at Work. 



*'If the reader is a father, and hae a daughter of suitable age, let 

 him place this volume in her hands with an earnest and affectionate 

 charge to read it through deliberately, with much thought and eelf-ex- 

 amination; if a mother, let her sit down with her daughter and read 

 together with her these chapters, with such comments and direct 

 application of its teachings, and such instructions and tender entrea- 

 ties coming of personal experience and observation, as are befitting 

 only the sacred confidences of mother and daughter. It is the most 

 sensible book on the subject treated we have ever read— simple and 

 intelligible, the language always fitting and delicate in treating sub- 

 jects requiring judgment and discretion, and pervaded with such a 

 parental and solicitous kindness that it can not fail to win the atten- 

 tion and confidence of every young woman."
