Rh to the everet cenure? I advert to well known facts, for I have frequently heard women ridiculed, and every little weaknes expoed, only becaue they adopted the advice of ome medical men, and deviated from the beaten track in their mode of treating their infants. I have actually heard this barbarous averion to innovation carried till further, and a enible woman tigmatized as an unnatural mother, who has thus been wiely olicitous to preerve the health of her children, when in the midt of her care he has lot one by ome of the caualties of infancy, which no prudence can ward off. Her acquaintance have oberved, that this was the conequence of new-fangled notions—the new-fangled notions of eae and cleanlines. And thoe who pretending to experience, though they have long adhered to prejudices that have, according to the opinion of the mot agacious phyicians, thinned the human race, almot rejoiced at the diater that gave a kind of anction to precription.

Indeed, if it were only on this account, the national education of women is of the utmot conequence, for what a number of human acrifices are made to that moloch prejudice! And in how many ways are children detroyed by the laciviounes of man? The want of natural affection, in many women, who are drawn from their duty by the admiration of men, and the ignorance of others, render the infancy of man a much more perilous tate than that of brutes; yet men are unwilling to place women in ituations proper to enable them to acquire ufficient undertanding to know how even to nure their babes.
