The exact nature of the book is not known, as the front pages are missing. We have no author or date or publisher. This book has two parts. The first provides an overall summary of female hygiene and the second provides “typical cases of female diseases.” This section provides many different case studies and testimonials of various female problems. Throughout the book (especially the second part), the author recommends “McElree’s Wine of Cardui” and Black Draught Tea. McElree’s Wine of Cardui was a cure for menstruation problems, discovered in 1872, when an Indian woman shared the cure with McElree’s wife. Dr. McElree commercialized and sold the medicine, until he sold the cure to the Chattanooga Medicine Company in 1882. They published several pamphlets advertising its use. While this pamphlet is more of a medical booklet and not an advertisement, it is probable that Chattanooga Medicine Company was involved in its publishing.
