[522 MOTHERS' REMEDIES]

Disorders of Pregnancy.--Nausea and vomiting.--The simple nausea and
vomiting of pregnancy needs no treatment. This kind generally disappears
by the third or fourth month, but it may persist in a mild form during the
greater part of pregnancy. Generally the regulation of the diet and
attention to the bowels are all that is necessary to be done for this
trouble. Foods should be chosen carefully and only such foods taken that
agree with the stomach and lessen the constipation. Sometimes taking a
light breakfast in bed saves the usual morning sickness. It is best then
to remain lying for some time after eating. When the condition is annoying
the following powder will give much relief: powder Ingluvin, oxalate of
cerium, of each five grains. Mix thoroughly and take one, every one or two
hours as needed. A physician should be consulted if this trouble is very
severe.
