Facts
About
Motherhood
i
The experience of Motherhood is a
trying one to most women and marks
distinctly an epoch in their lives Not
one woman in a hun-
dred is prepared or
understands how to
properly care forher-
self Of course near-
ly every woman now-
adays has medical
treatment at the
time of child-birth
but many approach
the experience with
an organism unfitted for the trial of
strength and when the strain is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain of caring for the child and a
distinct change in the mother results
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of chil-
dren and indeed chilu-birth under right
conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty The unexplainable thing is
that with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition women
will persist in going blindly to the trlaL
It isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares They have
ample lime in which to prrpare but
they for the most part trust to chance
ana pay the penalty
In many homes once childless there
are now children because of the fact
that Lydia E llnkham’s Vegetable
Compound makes women normal
healthy and strong
Any woman who would Ilk©
special advice in regard to this
matter is coni tally invited to
write to Mrs Pinkham at Lynn
Mass Her letter will he held in
strict confidence
