Today I have been reading Gordon Stables MD's 1891 "Girl's Own Book of Health and Beauty".  He has strong views on 'Womens' Rights Ladies',  corsets, exploitation of servents (noted to be worse in England than the treatment by Arab mistresses of their slaves in the savage African city of Lamoo), dust, tricycling as a cure for chronic ailments,  quack doctors  and many other things.  He is proper in every way.  He is also a heavy user of &amp;c.  ( eg item 13 on his list of suitable hobbies "Work for bazaars, &amp;c, &amp;c.")
I am enjoying his advice.
