Tokology : $b A book for every woman
Stockham, Alice B. (Alice Bunker)
Women -- Health and hygiene
DEAR DOCTOR:--I am astonished at the benefits derived from _Tokology_.
I had the book only a few weeks before confinement; when I procured
it my feet were so bloated I could scarcely walk across the room. I
followed the advice in the book faithfully, and in a short time got
so smart I could do my work with ease. The night before confinement I
walked two miles and came home, feeling well. I got up in the morning
and gathered up my clothes for washing, but soon found I had other
business on hand. At 10 o’clock A. M. I had a nice little daughter;
was sick only one hour, and no very hard pain. Always before, my
sickness at such times had been long and severe; have lain unconscious
for hours. My recovery, too, from previous labors, has been very
lingering. This time in five days I was dressed and stood upon my
feet; in two weeks was able to take care of my child, and do much
besides. No money could buy my book from me. I most cheerfully give my
experience for the benefit of others.

TO DOCTOR STOCKHAM, whom I call my best friend:--When about three
months advanced in pregnancy I bought _Tokology_. My health was very
poor; I was a constant sufferer. My children had all been weak and
puny, and died when from three to six months old. With the last I
lost my own health; many said I would not live to have another child.
I have followed the directions of _Tokology_ to the letter. From the
first my health improved, and I had a comfortable confinement. The
contrast to the previous labors was as day is to night. I can truly
say I owe my life to _Tokology_. Could I not get another, I would not
take $100 for it. I wish every woman knew the value of the work as I
do.

MY DEAR MISS STOCKHAM:--In presenting me your mother’s book, you add
another one to your many kind and thoughtful deeds, which will aid
me wonderfully in my mission as wife and mother. _Tokology_ contains
a wealth of enlightenment calculated to promote all that is pure and
noble. You and your mother are truly great philanthropists.
