Description: This intriguing read through the thoughts and medical ideas of J. H. Greer, M. D.’s “The Wholesome Woman: a Home Book of Tokology, Hygiene, and Education for Maidens, Wives, and Mothers: a Clean and Clear Exposition of Nature’s Laws and Mysteries” is a remarkable find. Flipping through the pages you will discover a universe of antiquated concepts and insightful ideals that leave you pondering the progress and loss made in a relatively short period of time. While this work is deemed culturally significant and is available in various reprints, an original copy is hard to come by. Several pages of this dense book have been photographed, not only to highlight its condition but to allow you the opportunity to zoom in on the text and experience a glimpse of the thoughts and guidelines within. Printed in 1902 by The Athenaeum Publishing House this book is very clean, with no writing. A few smaller stains and rub wear are present on the cover. A bleeding heart has been dried & pressed within pages 368 & 369. Though it shows wear, mostly these issues are easily repaired and the important components are intact for restoration. The books binding has given way in most places, but is attached through the mid-spine and intact. A few insignificant blank pages in the back of the text have separated from the piece, also intact and complete. The edges of some pages are brittle and the book should be handled with care to maintain its condition. See photos for more details. While this book’s appearance may seem flawed the important elements have been maintained, and the history and oddities within are priceless. This book is a marvel of curiosity and a wonder to experience. It is a conversation piece like few others.
