The delicate and sensitive organs, pecu-
liarly feminine, are in no condition for
the shock which is consequent on the
great change. Drains that are offensive

and liberation with female trouble are
added in time, and when motherhood
comes the strength of body is inadequate,
and the condition of mind unfit, for the
responsibility. The natural result is a
child that is unhealthy and unhappy.
