the sentence, "Every woman should know prevention of conception." I
should be thankful for any advice.

Dr...., to whom reference was made in the above editorial comment, is

"The three most important measures for the improvement of the human
race from a eugenic standpoint. What are they? I suppose everybody
who has given the subject any thought has his remedies. I have
studied the subject for years and my answer is:

"1. Teaching the people the proper means of the prevention of
conception so that the people may have only as many childre
