A LADY'S PERFECT COMPANION.

PAINLESS CHILDBIRTH, a new book by Dr. John H. Dye, one of New York's
most skillful physicians, shows that pain is not necessary in
childbirth, but results from causes easily understood and overcome.  It
clearly proves that any woman may become a mother without suffering any
pain whatever.  It also tells how to overcome and prevent morning
sickness, swelled limbs, and all other evils attending pregnancy. It is
reliabe and highly endorsed by physicians everywhere as the wife's true
private companion.  Cut this out: it will save you great pain, and
possibly your life.  Send two-cent stamp for descriptive circulars,
testimonials and confidential letter sent in sealed envelope.

Nancee's Notes: I know this has nothing to do with "genealogy", however,
I found this to be HIGHLY (AND I DO MEAN HIGHLY!!) AMUSING -- being the
mother of two children..

While viewing films today, I came across the birth of twins, one
weighing l0 l/2 lbs. and the other ll lbs. -- that's 2l l/2 lbs.
combined weight. Good grief!!!!  I'm sure that wasn't a painless
childbirth.

Well, grin, back to the important stuff!!  Regards, Nancee
