Excerpt from Household Surgery, or Hints on Emergencies
In the days of our great grandmothers, part of a young lady's education consisted in acquiring a knowledge of the mysteries of "the still-room," in which fragrant and simple medical "waters" were elaborated from wild flowers and herbs, either for their fragrance, culinary purposes, or household physic, with which the ladies-bountiful of the parish supplied the wants of their poorer neighbors and dependents. Within the last few years ladies have been led to a higher flight in the healing art, and, warmly taking to practice some small surgery, have become diligent pupils at the so-called Ambulance Lectures, the utility and fleetingness of which are well suited to the tender care and ability of kind-hearted women.
