place. They are not poisonous and cause no
injury to the membranes. They are distributed into a box costing 85
cents. The prescription quoted above can be made up more cheaply
however.

It is interesting to note that in the rural districts in France the
peasant women make up their preventive suppositories themselves,
placing them carefully away in glass jars. This is one of the recipes
which has been used:

Gelatine, 1 part
Water, 2 parts
Glycerine, 5 parts
Bisulphate of Quinine--one-half a part

Make this into a paste. Allow to spread out and solidify, then cut
into pieces of 2 grammes each, wrap separately and put in a cool place
(air-tight).

I have given in the foregoing pages the most commonly known means of
prevention. Personally I recommend every woman to use a well fitted
pessary and learn to adjust it.

Birth control, or family limitation, has been recommended by some of
the leading physicians of the United States and Europe. The movement
can no longer be set back by setting up the false cry of "obscenity."
It has already been incorporated into the private moral code of
millions of the most influential families in every civilized country.
It will shortly win full acceptation and sanction by public morality
as well.

In cases of women suffering from serious ailments, such as Bright's
disease, heart disease, insanities, melancholia, idiocy, consumption,
and syphilis, all a physician is allowed to do is to tide these women
through their pregnancies if possible. Even though the life of the
woman is positively endangered, he cannot relieve her without calling
a colleague in consultation. Therefore, the mortality of mothers
suffering from these diseases and their infants is very high, and
premature births common.
