THE RELIEF OF THE WOMEN.

The painless childbirth and the edu-
cation of the women concerning the "a
tional hygienie living has eliminated
the suffering that women previously en-
dured. The light of learning has given
to the women freedom from pain, here
tofore held to be her lot as a penalty
for transgression of mother Eve. The
only penalty that they really pay is
due to ignorance of the law of proper
living, or failure to seek advice and
treatment from properly trained ad-
visers.
If the expectant mother would call
on the family doctor and follow in
structions, she would prevent many of
the mistakes that often lead to many
ills. She would first eliminate fear
which is sinister influence and would
at the same time eliminate much of the
ignorance that the promiscuous ques-
tioning of unqualified observers brings.
