THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are so taught.
There Is little truth and a great deal
OF exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets 1t.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
