IA Is astonishing how great change .

the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness. the charm, tho

reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock 10 the system through tho
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak

further efforts were postponed.
