In Young, A. Madame Young's Guide to health; her experience and practice for nearly forty years; a true family herbal (Rochester, N.Y., 1858), frontispiece., Young was a practicing physician who authored Madame Young's Guide to health, a manual intended to instruct women in the use of herbal and family medicine., "Of all men, the physician should be a liberal-minded man-- ever anxious to learn all that will enable him to be of benefit to his suffering fellow-creatures. He should never conclude that he has nothing more to know, or that he can find all knowledge in any one system, or theory, of practice; he should ever be ready to learn, from every body. He who expects to find out all that can be known, in one train of reasoning, or round of study, is like a man traveling upon a circle"--P.146-147., Bust-length portrait of Madame Young, wearing a bonnet, eyeglasses, and a cross necklace.
