The medical section includes advice on the treatment of gunshot wounds through the administration of Condy's Fluid and the application of a cauterising iron to snake wounds. The advice on servants indicates that an income of £200 a year allows the employment of a young girl for rough work, while £1000 permits a Cook, housemaid and perhaps a man-servant. The daily task of a housemaid are scary and leave no time for moral danger (something of great concern in several sections). The Mistress of the house is admonished to rise early and open the pores of her skin with a cold bath. The essence can be found in this quote: The modest virgin, the prudent wife and the careful matron are much more serviceable in life than petticoated philosophers, blustering heroines, or virago queans. She who makes her husband and her children happy is a much greater character than ladies described in romances, whose whole occupation is to murder mankind with shafts from the quiver of their eyes.

I rather fancy meeting a virago quean or petticoated philosopher, they sound like interesting people.
