'...Containing the best modern methods for treatment of women's and children's diseases with a comprehensive index of symptoms.' Some listings of this book designate it as being first published in 1912 ( the date of the Australian Copyr4ight Act) but it was in fact first published in 1917 (Reference: https://encyclopedia.adventist.org/article?id=183E). Earlier editions are credited to Eulalia and Franklin Richards, her husband (also a doctor). Later revised and expanded editions are credited to Eulalia Richards only. A comprehensive manual for home health, it covers courtship and marriage; what is necessary for a successful marriage; sex; nutrition for mothers-to-be and children; chest, heart and blood diseases; urinary and genital diseases; nervous disorders and skin diseases; ear, nose, throat and eye problems; infectious diseases; tuberculosis; the relationship between health and women's dress fashions; bladder and bowel issues; puberty, menstruation and menopause; venereal diseases; health in middle life and home/first aid treatments. There's a great deal here that is commonsense, some treatments that definitely would NOT be used today and much to interest the medical student/historian. Illustrated.
