The Change of Life in Woman The ills and ailings incident Thereto by J. Compton Burnett

From the author:

I have myself never heard a clinical lecture on the menopause that was least help to me in my medical work, or one that afforded, to my mind, the least satisfaction; neither ....As far as I know my way about in medical literature, the menopause is, to say the least, a very dark region indeed, wherein we are left to grope about in quest of unknown quasighostlike awfulnesses.....1898
