FACTS ABOUT MOTHERHOOD.
By MARGARET L. BRIGGS.
* ' < (AI.L RIGHTS RESERVED.) "
The experience of Motherhood is a trvlng one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their live#. Not one woman In a hundred Is prepared for moth
erhood or understands how to take car© of herself. Of course nearly every wo
man nowaday* has proper medical treatment at. time of child-birth, but she ap
proaches the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and
when the strain Is over her system has re eived a shock from which It rarely ful.y
recover* Following right upon this come* the nervous strain of caring for the
child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more chmitv
Ing than a happy and healthy mother of chidren, and Indeed child-birth under
right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing
is that, with all the evidences of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, women will persist In go.ng blindly to the trial without
getting ready to stand the strain.
It isn’t as though the experience cam* upon them unawares. They have ample
tlm© In which to prepare, but they, for the most port, trust to chance and pay th©
penalty.
When a woman realize* that she Is to be om* a mother, the surest way to get
ready for the experience Is to write to Mr*. Binkhanw Lynn. M is*., and tell tier
all about her condition. She will get advice from Mrs. Pinkharo that costs noth
ing nnd that will surely help her. It will tell Just exactly what to do. and. if fol
lowed. wi’.l ensure exemption from **• ver- .-ho k, and In many case* make the expe
rience nearly painless. These statem nt* are absolute frets, and are vouched for
by a great many women who have relit*! on Mrs. IMnkham at this critical time.
There I* no woman so healthy that at the approach of this unusual strain their
reproductive system does not need strengthening in every* possible way. and for
this purpose there Is nothing In the world effective a* Lydia K Pink ham s \ eg
etable Compound No woman ever telie upon ll In vain, and no wrom.in who ha*
this trial of strength to paa* through can afford to neg.e t any reasonable precau
tion. Her duty to herself, to her husband and to her child demands that ahe pre
pare herself In every way.
In mmy homea there Is the lone'ln©** of childless wedlock, nearly always re
sulting from some derangement of the generative system in the mother. It Is not
actual barrenness, but It amounts to that because there 1* no child. In such roars
Lydia K. Plnkbmi's Vegetable Compound will almost always strengthen and help
the mother and make her capable of bearing children. There is nothing mysteri
ous in this. Mrs. Plnkham's medicines m.iko women healthy and strong and vig
orous and it prepares ihe feminine organism for natural duties.
Letters from women who hive been helped through child-birth, who have re
cuperated quickly from the strain, and from others who have experienced tha Joy
of motherhood, which they thought was denied them, are constantly being printed
In this paper. These results were brought about by Lydia EL Ilnkham's Vegetable
Compound, the surest remedy for nil distinctly feminine Ills, the medicine that
thousands of women publicly praise.

fact that glycerine has a strong ufllntty

In Germany the government, agya the
Washington Evening Star, lakes a hand

"Is there i moral question involved In
playing card* for money, whether the
flakes nr#* tar** or nm.ill?" Is a qu>*lon
that Is b# ing sr-rtously considered by many
women of social position Just now. says
a writer In the New York Tribune. Not
ns far as concerns themselves, not, per
haps, their immediate families, but on ac
count of the Influence which every one
exercises, more or lea*, on general socie
ty. With the wave of newly awakened**!
enthusiasm for cards which has recently
swept over fashionable circles, there has
developed a rampant spirit of gambling,
which has Infected women and even chil

and horrifies their relatives of the old

And It Is a serious problem when I heir
sons so to hou.'os where that amount at
"bridge” Is doubled and trebled and
brought to such a irttch that hundreds of
dollur.* are In question. No wonder par
ents feel that they have been handling
edged tools In allowing their children to
play cards for money, even If for penny
points.
"It is so hnrd to refuse to take a band
wlv n you nr*- needed to make up a four

K, who. to his mother's consternation,
confessed he had "dropped" flflh whke off
on a visit. "They play 'bridge' everywhere
r.ow, and It Is not like the round game,
where you can drop out without Incon
veniencing any one If they need you.

"I say simply I cannot afford to loee.
and In that case I certainly do not want
to win other people’s money " remarked
another young fellow, who bad the cour
age of hia convictions, "hut I know that
by so doing lam considered an tne|||gihte
guest In certain house*. One really has
to play to bo persona grata nowadays."
"What am I to do. mamma," queried
a debutante, who was starting ofT for a
visit to a country house on the sound.
"If they ask me to play cards? You
krow they all gamble at Mrs. Z’s!”
"Well. I suppose you will have to play.**
replied the up-to-date mother. "Although
If you lose, I do not see where the money
Is to come from, as what with your
clothes and traveling expenses I have used
up everything your father gave me for
you. and I don’t think he would be over

debts?"
"Why. they gamble even In the nurs

discussing this latest social problem "I
