"Many a woman whose childhood was bright with promise endures an after-life of misery because, through a false delicacy, she remained ignorant of her physical nature and requirements, although on all other subjects she may be well-informed; and so at length she goes to her grave mourning the hard fate that has made existence a burden, and perhaps wondering to what end she was born, when a little knowledge at the proper time would have shown her how to easily avoid those evils that have made her life a wretched failure."—From Introduction.

"A very useful book for parents who have daughters is 'Hygiene for Girls,' by IrenÆus P. Davis, M. D., published by D. Appleton & Co. And it is just the book for an intelligent, well-instructed girl to read with care. It is not a text-book, nor does it bristle with technical terms. But it tells in simple language just what girls should do and not to do to preserve the health and strength, to realize the joys, and prepare for the duties of a woman's lot. It is written with a delicacy, too, which a mother could hardly surpass in talking with her daughter."—Christian at Work.

"If the reader is a father, and has a daughter of suitable age, let him place this volume in her hands with an earnest and affectionate charge to read it through deliberately, with much thought and self-examination; if a mother, let her sit down with her daughter and read together with her these chapters, with such comments and direct application of its teachings, and such instructions and tender entreaties coming of personal experience and observation, as are befitting only the sacred confidences of mother and daughter. It is the most sensible book on the subject treated we have ever read—simple and intelligible, the language always fitting and delicate in treating subjects requiring judgment and discretion, and pervaded with such a parental and solicitous kindness that it can not fail to win the attention and confidence of every young woman."
