Notes

Above syringe will be sent by publishers, postpaid, for $1.20. The cleanser alone for 60c.

This is the title of a pamphlet written by Henry C. Wright. We have taken some extracts from it.

Some of these valuable suggestions are taken from "Parturition Without Pain," by Dr. M. L. Holbrook.

This quotation is an appeal to mothers by Mrs. P. B. Saur, M.D.
