Here we viii that mothers DO great wToBs. wb

most responsible duties OF life in gnorance-withou
being fully aware of the nature OF the most mportan
and delicate functions of the human economy. W

We said that DR.. Dixon had dschsI sed his task in
successful manner To do so was perhaps not easy
In communicating the necessary information 10 svo

We beprc that this work combines all these requisites
