Dr. Stephenson finds that the natives invariably

And another OF their ideas Ia that we don't
know anything about raising babies Hlndoo
mothers without exception give opium to their
babies to make them sleep while they work In the
fields As a result large proportion OF the little
liindoo babies die before they are year old, Most
OF the work among the natives is surgical and the
obstotrc cases are the most interesting. This is
because the natives have medicines OF their own,
but know nothing OF the use OF the knife"

of a joy-illumed future, and pictured a
life beautiful, wherein was the marvel

hers the sacred privilege of molding it
