When therefore _the Necessity_ of the Case has overcome every Resolution form’d for the Woman’s _not_ giving suck, and her Child is put to her Breast, it is in vain!—the Child will not touch the Breast!—_other_ Children—or women attempt to ease the poor Woman of her Load of Milk—this Resource likewise fails! the thick Milk has clog’d the Vessels—the N-pp-es, owing to the hard Distension of the Breasts, has shrunk into them—and, besides, their Pores have never been open’d—never been clear’d—no endeavours avail! the distress’d Woman, after having been sadly fatigued, exhausted, finds herself disappointed of Relief!—dreadful Symptoms soon appear! she _too probably_ falls a sacrifice to a ridiculous—senseless—not to say a sinful deviation _from the Path of Nature_!—how many fine young Women have lately died—and go off every Year, from this Cause! But “_particular_ Women have not Constitutions strong enough to bear giving suck. Certainly there are some Women whom it might hurt.” Granted. Let such particular Women give suck _only_ for the first _four_, _five_ or _six Weeks_. If those Women _then_ really find themselves too delicate for the _longer_ continuance of such a Drain, they then _may safely_ by degrees leave off giving suck—they have sufficiently recover’d Strength to venture throwing the Milk gently back into the Blood. The most delicately form’d Woman existing should _not_ dream of suffering a single Drop of the Milk which Nature _intended for Evacuation_, to return into the Blood, untill the Constitution is re-established—and enabled to bear discharging itself of the Superfluities, without encountering the Dangers which _demonstrably_ attend a contrary Practice. If a Woman is too delicate to bear _continuing to suckle_ her Infant, surely she is _too delicate_ to endure the flying in the Face of Nature, and _risking_ the Fever—if she is healthy and strong, the more incumbent her duty is, to nourish her Child—her danger too equal. In _every_ View, the salutary Consequences attending Mothers discharging their Duty to their Children in this point, are so obvious, so glaring, that _to me_ it is matter of doubt whether those who fail in it are most to be condemn’d and despised for _their want of natural Affection_—or pitied and ridiculed _for their Folly_. These are my Ideas on this interesting Subject. Let those Women who _obstinately_ persevere in a Resolution to deny their Infants their natural Food—(and in whose Judgements my Arguments have appear’d deficient in Weight) stand the Trial, and risk the Consequence. I most sincerely hope the Success may answer their Wishes! I now refer my Readers to the following Letters. I can assert, _with conscious Truth_ that my Sentiments on the _preceding_, and _following_ Subjects, have been the offspring of an Heart warm’d by a Love for my fellow-Creatures—ever most ardently solicitous for their Welfare and Happiness, here and hereafter.
