THE following
“Letters to Ladies” originally appeared,
between the autumn of 1884 and the spring of
The writer trusts that her
name and medical diploma will constitute a sufficient guarantee of the good
faith and serious intent with which the book is put forth. No lady possessing
any scientific qualification, has, hitherto, so far as she is aware, interested
herself specially in the study of the
“cosmetic arts,” or attempted to instruct
her sex on matters connected with the improvement and preservation of physical
grace and good looks. Yet the demand for such (p.
iv) instruction is universal, and, obviously, one who is both a woman
and a doctor, competent to understand at once what is required, and the most
efficient method of supplying it, is, from every point of view, the fittest
exponent of the subject.
Advice on
“beauty and the
toilet” would be impertinent and unbecoming in a member of the sterner sex,
while ladies who lack the advantage of a professional education labour under
considerable difficulties when dealing with questions which involve technical
knowledge of anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and hygiene. It is hoped that the
want indicated will be met by the present manual, and that its use may save many
ladies the embarrassment and expense of personally consulting a physician on
matters which they feel to be trivial from the medical point of view, and
difficult to explain to the masculine intelligence, but of which the importance
to themselves is, nevertheless, considerable. In such dilemmas, recourse is
often preferably had to quack remedies or to deleterious pigments and washes,
with a result that not infrequently shows itself in subsequent irreparable
damage to the skin or grave disturbance of the health.
Care has been taken, in
compiling the following
“Letters,” to recommend only those cosmetics and
specialities which have either been personally tested by (p.
v) the author, or are known to be wholesome and beneficial.
Discretion has also been exercised in regard to the advertisements included in
the book, which have been selected with the view of supplying a convenient vade mecum for the assistance of readers in
search of suitable and safe adjuncts to the toilet.
THE VICARAGE, ATCHAM,
Midsummer, 1886.
