" I found your medi - cine a blessing to me and my family. " There arc women who feel something like n grudge against the children , who , one after another rob their mother of her beauty and strength. Mqn do not usually realize how mucH the mother gives to each child to her own loss. Women accept it as part of the obligation , of Nature and pay the debt grutlgtngl } ' . Yet in Nature's plan every child is 11 new joy and frosh. happiness. It isn't the children that steal the mother's strength. It is tlie unnatural drains and pains which weaken her.
