When the girl comes to be a woman
look out. If she starts out in vigorous,
womanly health then it is pretty safe to
say she will be healthy, attractive,
beautiful woman.
The beginning of womanhood is the
real crisis in woman's life. Nearly
always something is wrong then in the
distinctly feminine organs. Maybe it
isn't very serious-no matter-the time
