Excerpt from Hints to Mothers: For the Management of Health During the Period of Pregnancy, and in the Lying-in-Room; With an Exposure of Popular Errors in Connexion With Those Subjects
The object of the publication of this work is so well stated by Dr. Bull, that it is unnecessary for the American Editor to make any remarks. He would merely state that the additions which he has contributed, are the result of twelve years demotion to the obstetric art. Dr. Bull remarks: -
"In the minds of married women, and especially in young females, those feelings of delicacy naturally and commendably exist which prevent a full disclosure of their circumstances, when they find it necessary to consult their medical advisers. To meet this difficulty, and also to counteract the ill-advised suggestions of ignorant persons during the period of confinement, is the chief object of the following pages.
"While it is believed that much of the information contained in this volume is highly important to the comfort, and even to the well-doing of the married female, much of it is, at the same time, of a character upon which she cannot easily obtain satisfaction. She will find no difficulty in reading information, for which she would find it insuperably difficult to ask.
