Do not let yourself get sluggish and indifferent. Here is where the benefits of massage, physical culture and a vital interest in life come in. Youth is happiness! If you would be young, radiate happiness. Talk happiness not ill-health. One certain symptom of advancing age is the desire to talk about ill-health. Discussing operations you have undergone or sickness you have experienced always attracts attention to your age. Children seldom talk about ill-health. An illness once conquered is forgotten. Another thing, do not whine. The American women are noted for their unpleasant voices, which often are too high pitched, showing lack of control. Cultivate a low, well-modulated voice. Recently I met a young woman who had a deformed body and a plain face, but I immediately was attracted to her because she had the most beautiful speaking voice it ever was my privilege to hear. As we age in years we are liable to grow careless in our dress, to select colors and styles that are not very becoming; we do not take as much pains with our hair, our nails or our shoes as we should. We have allowed age to manifest itself in the lack of care of the little things. Finally, if your work does not bring you happiness, you are in the wrong place and the sooner you find the right place the better for you. It is impossible to take a race horse and expect to make him a good plow horse. We only would spoil the one without succeeding in obtaining the other. There is a right place for everyone and each one is adapted to certain things and in order to accomplish the most we must "find ourselves." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INDEX Abortions, 89 Accidental, 90 Criminal, 91 Prevalence, 92, 112 Sterility following, 95 Advertisements, misleading, 65 Advertising physicians, 173 After-birth, 83 Amenorrhoea, 40 Anatomy of generative organs, 11 Anus, 16 Atrophy of generative organs, 30 Backache, displacement causing, 36 Fake advertisements concerning, 67 Gonorrhoea causing, 61 Lumbago, rheumatism, strain, 67 Bag of waters, 86 Birth canal, 13 Black plagues, see Gonorrhoea and Syphilis Causing tumors, 42 Bladder, openings into, 17 Position in relation to womb, 11 Blindness, due to gonorrhoea, 59 Infection, prevalence of in new born, 60 Blue baby, 87 Blues, 195 Born with caul or veil, 86 Boys, need of instruction, 178 Why boys go astray, 171 Breasts, after menopause, in pregnancy, 19 At puberty, 24 Cancer, carcinoma, 43 Cathartics, 51 Cavity of pelvis, 11 Cavity of womb, openings into, 11, 12 Change of life, see Menopause Child bearing period, 23 Childless homes, 103 Chlorosis, 40 Circumcision in girls, 41 Clandestine engagements, 157 Clap, see Gonorrhoea.
