TWO GREAT WORKS
BY ALICE B. STOCKHAM, M. D.
TOKOLOGY A BOOK FOR EVERY WOMAN
=Tokology= teaches possible painless pregnancy and parturition, giving full, plain directions for the care of a woman before and after confinement. The ailments of pregnancy can be prevented and the pains and dangers of childbirth avoided
WITHOUT DRUGS OR MEDICINES.
Tokology is a popular
GUIDE TO HEALTH.
_Mrs. J. M. Davis, Sabula, Iowa_, says: “I have two dear _Tokology_ babies, and during the whole nine months, both times, had neither ache nor pain.”
_Mrs. A. L. T._: “An hour after the labor-pain began the baby was delivered. If I could not get another _Tokology_, I would not part with mine for a thousand dollars.”
_Mrs. J. B. McD._: “I followed _Tokology_ and now, after fifteen years of childless married life, a sweet baby boy has come as a gift from God.”
The illustrations are accurate and carefully made. Nearly 400 pages. Printed in English, German and Swedish.
=Cloth, $2.25= =Morocco, $2.75=
THE LOVER’S WORLD
A WHEEL OF LIFE
Supplies the hunger-cry of humanity upon Vital Subjects.
All of its teachings are based upon experience and philosophy.
For the first time definite instructions are put in print for the training, mastery and transmutation of creative energy, the use and appropriation of passion. Through this definite training one holds the key to health, power and longevity.
_Prof. Oscar L. Triggs, University of Chicago_: “I have read _The Lover’s World_ with great interest. At length there is a chance that the world will take a right attitude toward sex now that so many voices, such as yours and Carpenter’s, are raised in behalf of love and a true interpretation of sex.”
_Samuel M. Jones_ (Mayor of Toledo, Ohio): “It is the most helpful work on the subject of unity and the sacredness of all life that I have seen.”
=400 pages.= Bound in Silk Cloth, =Prepaid, $2.25=.
KAREZZA
Ethics of Marriage
By ALICE B. STOCKHAM, M. D.
[Illustration: Small illustration of a book labeled “Karezza” with “Stockham” printed beneath the title]
KAREZZA is written for married men and women who have lofty aims in life, who are pure in heart and who seek best conditions for offspring. KAREZZA gives instruction for the marital relation, and regards it as a sacred function that may be employed either for propagation, or for higher individual development of body, mind and soul, without propagation.
It gives full and careful directions for the
COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE CREATIVE POWER.
KAREZZA controverts the prevailing ideas of baseness and degradation associated with the sexual nature, makes a plea for a better birthright for the child, for a controlled and designed maternity.
Its teachings will lead individuals to purer lives, to right understanding and appreciation of the sex functions, to intelligent control of propagation, and finally, through right adjustment in the most sacred relations, to the ideal marriage.
HEALTH CULTURE: KAREZZA is a book that all who are married and those contemplating marriage will read with interest and profit.
DR. JAS. A. SMILLIE: I have received more actual benefit from the practical application of KAREZZA than from all other books. My gratitude knows no bounds. Every day I am stronger, happier and purer.
CHAS. MCCORMICK, M. D.: I regard KAREZZA as Divinely inspired. May a suffering world appreciate and reward your efforts.

HOW TO LIVE FOREVER
THE SCIENCE AND PRACTICE
By HARRY GAZE
This work shows exactly how to perpetuate life in physical embodiment. By cooperation with known laws of change and growth, man may have eternal health and immortal youth. Old age is a disease that may be prevented and cured.
Harry Gaze is thoroughly scientific, and founds his theories on the latest biological discoveries. Through knowledge he gives _life more abundantly_. This is scientific optimism.
W. R. C. Latson, M. D., Editor of “Health Culture”, says:—The author of this ingenious and suggestive book advances the somewhat startling claim that somatic death—that is, the death of the body as a whole—is due to causes which may be averted; and that, by proper means, one may so control the bodily functions as to retain the body indefinitely. I do not hesitate to say that, while Mr. Gaze’s conception of the possibility of physical immortality is unique, there is nothing in the accepted facts of physiological science by which his position can be refuted. I can heartily recommend Mr. Gaze’s book.
Edward E. Purinton, Editor “Naturopath”:—You combine instruction and inspiration in a way in which few thinkers encompass. I am familiar with most of the New Thought theories, but I believe this book surpasses them all.
