A NURSE'S ADVICE TO WOMEN.
Every woman who is desirous of preventing conception will follow this
advice:
Don't wait to see if you do _not_ menstruate (monthly sickness) but
make it your duty to see that you _do_.
If you are due to be "sick" on the eighth of August, do not wait until
the eighth to see, but begin as early as the fourth to take a good
laxative for the bowels, and continue this each night until the
eighth.
If there is the slightest possibility that the male fluid has entered
the vagina, take on these same nights before retiring, five or ten
grains of quinine, with a hot drink. The quinine in capsule form is
considered fresher, but if this is taken do not use alcoholic drinks
directly after, as it hardens the capsules, thus delaying the action
of the quinine.
By taking the above precautions you will prevent the ovum from making
its nest in the lining of the womb.
Women of intelligence who refuse to have children until they are ready
for them, keep definite track of the date of their menstrual periods.
A calendar should be kept, on which can be marked the date of the last
menstruation, as well as the date when the next period should occur.
Women must learn to know their own bodies, and watch and know
definitely how regular or irregular they are: if the period comes
regularly every twenty-eight days (normal) or every thirty days as is
in the case of many young girls.
Mark it accordingly on your private calendar; do not leave it to
memory or guess work.
Only ignorance and indifference will cause one to be careless in this
most important matter.
A very good laxative (though it is a patent medicine) is Beechams
Pills. Two of these taken night and morning, four days before
menstruation, will give a good cleansing of the bowels, and assist
with the menstrual flow. Castor oil is also a good laxative.
