The married woman's private medical companion : $b embracing the treatment of menstruation, or monthly turns, during their stoppage, irregularity, or entire suppression. Pregnancy, and how it may be determined; with the treatment of its various diseases. Discovery to prevent pregnancy; its great and important necessity where malformation or inability exists to give birth. To prevent miscarriage or abortion. When proper and necessary to effect miscarriage. When attended with entire safety. Causes
Mauriceau, A. M.
Abortion; Pregnancy; Women -- Health and hygiene
He further states that their efficacy and certainty are such, that
they are sometimes administered in cases of malformation of pelvis,
when the female is incompetent to give birth at maturity. But when
such is the case, M M Desomeaux’s “Preventive to Conception,” treated
of in another part of this work, under the head of “Conception, when
it should be Prevented,” is the proper remedy.
These proofs of their wonderful powers have induced Dr. Mauriceau,
since his return from France, to take the sole agency for the United
States. They are to be obtained of him only, as they can be
transmitted by mail to any part of the Union. For whole boxes the
price is five dollars; half-boxes, three dollars. Address to “Box
1224, New York City.” Dr. Mauriceau attends to all diseases of women,
especially those arising from suppression of the menses, in the
successful treatment of which M. M. Desomeaux’s Pills have been of
such eminent service to him. Office 129 Liberty street.

drachms. Mix, and divide into two doses. One dose to be taken every
two or three hours by adults. In obstinate cases, the addition of ten
or twelve grains of calomel to the above recipe, will render the
medicine more salutary.

drachms.—Mix, and divide into twelve doses. One dose to be taken every
two or three hours by adults.
_Febrifuge Mixture._—Take of nitre, two drachms; lemon juice or
vinegar, one ounce; water, half a pint; sugar, a sufficient quantity
to sweeten.—Mix. A wineglassful to be taken by adults every two hours.
It will be rendered more active by the addition of two drachms of
antimonial wine.
Footnote 6:

twelve grs. Mix, and divide in four parts; give one in a little water,

Footnote 7:
I have had, very lately, a lady under my care, who menstruates with
the most perfect regularity; though she had labored under a prolapsus
of the uterus to a great extent for several years. She is now in her
sixty-fifth year. Her uterus is now effectually supported by a
pessary, which has much improved her general health.—_Dewees._
