Abstract: Despite the elaborate title, giving the impression of methods of pain relief in labor, this small treatise mainly discusses prenatal care on medical, physiological and moral grounds. It is generally a book of advice to expectant mothers, encouraging proper diet, regular exercise and observance of proper moral and natural laws as ways to avert obstetric pain.
