PREFACE.

IN introducing this essay to the world, the writer feels that there are many of its readers who will not agree with all that is contained therein; but it is considered that the facts cannot be disturbed, and will stand prominently forward to assert their own dignity, however small, in the cause of humanity, and show the miseries resulting from a deficiency of knowledge, such knowledge being necessary to prevent many evils that really need not exist. By following up the great principle of the laws of nature; keeping clear the pores of the skin; opening the "safety-valve of life," much mischief may be prevented, and many blessings will follow. It is hoped a thoughtful attention will be paid in its perusal, even by those who may be prejudiced against it, and that some benefits may result to the great human family, and, which is the sincerely earnest desire of the writer, who particularly wishes the kind attention of all mothers and fathers, that they may be benefitted by the knowledge of experiences related

therein, to the advantage of their families and themselves, the result of which, it is hoped, will increase their joy and happiness.

The Author does not prolong the Preface further, considering the Synopsis will recommend and explain itself to all thinking persons, whether rulers, statesmen, or representatives of the medical and scientific world, to whom he humbly dedicates this little book.
