Stockham, Dr. med; TRANS. from English to new, ISPR. ed. 1891 Kiev: publishing house of F. A. Ioganson, 1892. - XVI, 416, VII p.; 18.5 x 13.5 cm. Condition: the binding falls off, 192 pages of the print of the library that does not exist fall out. From the Preface by L. N. Tolstoy: ”This book is not one of those that are read only so that no one can say that ”I have not read this book”, but of those that reading leaves traces, forcing you to change your life, correct what goes wrong in it, or at least think about it. This book is called Tokology, the science of childbirth. There are all sorts of strange Sciences, but there is no such science, and yet, after the science of how to live and how to die, this is the most important science. This book was a huge success in America and had an important and great influence on American mothers and fathers. In Russia, it should have an even greater impact. Questions about abstinence from tobacco and all kinds of excitatory beverages, from alcohol to tea, questions about eating without killing living creatures, vegetarianism, questions about sexual abstinence in family life, and many others, partly already solved, partly developed and having a huge literature in Europe and America, we have not yet touched, and therefore the book Stockham is especially important for us; it immediately takes the reader into a new world of living human movement.”
