Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Four Epochs of Life
Doubtless because of the delicacy of the subject, children are not informed by their parents of the vital facts of sex-life which they should know and which they have the right to know. Too often such knowl edge as children do acquire of the facts of life's mys teries comes from those who are incompetent, either through ignorance or viciousness, to give it. This volume will fulfil an important, though indirect mis sion, in accenting the fact that mothers should inform their children on these delicate but vital subjects. No mother can read the chapters which relate how Dr. Ruth Lyon led her children to the knowledge of the secrets of their own life by unfolding to them the life mysteries of plants, fishes and birds, without being impelled to unfold the sacred mysteries which some time will be unfolded to her child. The mother should unveil these mysteries. The task is too delicate and too sacred to be entrusted to other hands. It is the mother heart that speaks all through this book though the speech is recorded through the pen of a scientist.
