Tokology : $b A book for every woman
Stockham, Alice B. (Alice Bunker)
Women -- Health and hygiene
DEAR DR. STOCKHAM:--My delivery was the shortest and easiest I
ever had. The Lord was good to me in giving me what I needed.
_Tokology_ proved a great blessing, as my health improved all the
time. I have a fine little girl, who is perfectly healthy. I can,
with good conscience, recommend _Tokology_. My sister officiated as
midwife by the instructions in the book, though previously entirely
inexperienced, and did well. How can any one help understanding your
plain directions? I feel very grateful that _Tokology_ ever came into
my hands. Some of the suggestions are invaluable. Bathing the babe in
sweet oil worked like a charm. “Not tying the cord,” of which some
were fearful, worked nicely. I thank the Lord for giving you the power
to write such a valuable book.
MRS. L. A. SHERMAN,

MY DEAR MRS. TALBOT:--Your invaluable gift, _Tokology_, reached me
Christmas morning. I was in bed, suffering intensely from uterine
disease. I eagerly grasped the book and read as I never did before.
Many times I have said that God had shown no consideration for
_frail_, _delicate_ women; that bearing children was a _blight_ to
womanhood and a _curse_ to the marriage vow. Why was this? My heart
has been in one life-long rebellion. I could not be resigned to
the agony endured by wives and mothers. I knew there was something
terribly wrong. _Tokology_ has solved the problem for me. You cannot
imagine how happy it has made me. Already I begin to feel the joy of
returning health. I want all my friends and neighbors to have the
book. My parents and sisters must read it. I can never tell what a
blessing your gift has bestowed on me and _us_. I thank you a thousand
times.

The following is a P. S. to a business letter from a lawyer:--Mrs. K.
wishes me to add that she faithfully followed your instructions in
regard to fruit diet and sitz-baths, and owes you very much for good
results obtained. The doctor did not reach the house until half an
hour after the child was born. She really experienced but one severe
pain, while our first child caused her much suffering. We are both
grateful for the science you teach.
