One of the most powerful and realistic novels written by an American author in this literary generation. It is a terrible exposé of conventional immorality and hypocrisy in modern society. Every high-minded woman who desires the true progression of her sex will want to touch the inspiriting power of this book.
“No braver voice was ever raised, no clearer note was ever struck, for woman’s honor and childhood’s purity.”—The Vanguard, Chicago.
“A novel of power, and one which will stir up a breeze unless certain hypocritical classes are wiser than they usually are.”—Chicago Times.
“It comes very close to any college man who has kept his eyes open. When we finish we may say, not, ‘Is This Your Son, My Lord?’ but ‘Is it I?’”—Nassau Literary Magazine, Princeton.

“Every legislator in every state should read it and ask his conscience whether, if such iniquitous laws are on the statute books of his state, he should hasten to move their repeal.”

A Guide to Girlhood,
Motherhood and Infancy
By Dr. H. LANG GORDON
Size, 6 × 8¾; 278 pages; fully illustrated. Price, $2.00
This work marks in its own line the opening of a new epoch. Hitherto such works have been devoted to treatment and a study of the abnormal; here these subjects yield precedence to prevention and a common-sense exposition of the normal. The author, imbued with the spirit of modern preventive medicine, points out the errors and abuses of modern life (so easily avoided and yet so easily yielded to) which affect injuriously the health of women and children. At the same time he clearly assists the mother and others to understand the physiology of womanhood and motherhood, the care of the infant and young girl and the detection and treatment of common complaints. The subjects of heredity, environment, education and schools, the home-training of children, the physical development of the body and the position of woman in modern life, are among the topics of the day which are touched upon in a new light in this concisely written book. Each of its three sections, Girlhood, Motherhood and Infancy, provides the mother, the schoolmistress, and the intelligent nurse with a fascinating and easily understood guide and high ideals.

Through a long medical practice, extensive travel and many years of research, Dr. Stockham has come to know the heart of humanity. She now returns this knowledge in a message to all lovers. Love is the expression of the divine in man! Love of self, Love between man and woman, Love of child, Love of friends and comrades, and finally the love of the race, each and all are expressions of Cosmic or Universal Love. The man seeking a wife seeks her through his love nature; in this work he is directed to seek wisely. The woman, no more a child, learns that natural desires and functions should be dedicated to sacred uses. “The Lover’s World” not only contains everyday helps for everyday needs, but gives the key to life, revealing the secret of adepts and mystic orders. These, as herein presented, are no more secrets, but knowledge of faculties and functions giving power, health and happiness.
Prof. Oscar L. Triggs, University of Chicago: “I have read The Lover’s World with great interest. At length there is a chance that the world will take a right attitude toward sex now that so many voices, such as yours and Carpenter’s, are raised in behalf of love and a true interpretation of sex.”
Samuel M. Jones (Mayor of Toledo, Ohio): “It is the most helpful work on the subject of unity and the sacredness of all life that I have seen.”

A Book for Every Woman
By Alice B. Stockham, M. D.
“Tokology” teaches possible painless pregnancy and parturition, giving full, plain directions for the care of a woman before, during and after confinement. The ailments of pregnancy can be prevented as well as the pains and dangers of childbirth avoided without drugs or medicines. Women need not go down to death giving birth to children.
Physicians say that the chapter on Constipation is the best treatise ever written on the subject, and alone is worth the price of the book. Chapters on Menstruation and the diseases of women and children. Change of Life is handled in a plain, common-sense style.
Mrs. J. M. Davis, Sabula, Iowa, says: “I have two dear Tokology babies, and during the whole nine months, both times, had neither ache nor pain.”
Mrs. A. L. T.: “An hour after the labor-pain began the baby was delivered. If I could not get another Tokology, I would not part with mine for a thousand dollars.”
Mrs. J. B. McD.: “I followed Tokology and now, after fifteen years of childless married life, a sweet baby boy has come as a gift from God.”
The illustrations are accurate and carefully made. Nearly 400 pages.

By Charles G. Leland.
This book gives the methods of development and strengthening the latent powers of the mind and the hidden forces of the will by a simple, scientific process possible to any person of ordinary intelligence. The author’s first discovery was that Memory, whether mental, visual, or of any other kind, could, in connection with Art, be wonderfully improved, and to this in time came the consideration that the human Will, with all its mighty power and deep secrets, could be disciplined and directed, or controlled, with as great care as the memory or the mechanical faculty. In a certain sense the three are one, and the reader who will take the pains to master the details of this book will readily grasp it as a whole, and understand that its contents form a system of education, yet one from which the old as well as young may profit.
