"The peasant
women of Europe
who work
hard and eat
simple food, have
little or no maternal
difficulties,
while the vast array of
'Women's Diseases' that
keep our hospitals full
and our
surgeons busy, are
unknown to these women."
"Nature
is always on the side
of the mother;
Nature does everything
possible to make
maternity easy and safe
and to bring a perfect
child into the world."
"The most common cause
of nervousness
is overeating."
