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.
