About this book
Advice to a Wife and Mother in Two Parts brings together advice to a wife and advice to a mother under a single title. The section addressed to a wife concerns the management of her health and the treatment of some complaints incidental to pregnancy, labor and suckling. The discussion of infant care recommends finely powdered starch for general use and explicitly rejects white lead because the substance is a poison.
The instructions for excoriated skin prescribe washing and gentle dabbing with a soft napkin, specifically distinguishing the drying method from rubbing. A prescribed dinner offers either chicken or game with mashed potatoes and bread, while the supper consists of well-boiled and well-made gruel.
