A woman never really knows the
meaning of happiness and content un-
til she is the mother of a healthy,
happy child. The health of the child
depends on the health of the mother,
both before and after birth Most ali
of wOman's weakness and particularly
the weakness that most strongly infiu-
ences the health of children, comes
from some arrangement or disease of
the distinctly feminine organs. DIR.
