The secret habits of the female sex : letters addressed to a mother on the evils of solitude, and its seductive temptations to young girls, the premature victims of a pernicious passion, with all its frightful consequences : deformity of mind and body, destruction of beauty and entailing disease and death, but from which, by attention to the timely warnings here given, the devotee may be saved and become an ornament to society, a virtuous wife, and a refulgent mother! / from the French of Jean Dubois, M.D.
