[46]. As in most cases the predisposition to miscarry arises from a very weakened or diseased state of the uterus, or general debility of the system, which is mostly caused by one period of pregnancy followed by miscarriage, too closely succeeding another with the same results, it is obvious that the prevention of pregnancy by the use of M. Desomeaux’s “Preventive of Pregnancy,” (treated of in the preceding pages,) for about two years or so, or until health and strength are restored, is the proper remedy; thereby enabling the system to correct the predisposition, by improving the tone and vigour of the uterus. The writer can vouch that by the use of this “Preventive,” many women who had before constantly miscarried, at particular periods, entirely recovered, and gave birth to full grown and healthy children, after trying all other means without avail.
[47]. Interdiction of marriage is not necessary, all that is required is that pregnancy should be prevented; this, thanks to M. Desomeaux’s discovery can be attained by the use of his “Preventive to Pregnancy.”
[48]. This is true when it is a right presentation (the head), or when the duration and severity of labor may not induce convulsions.
[49]. That barrenness, in most cases, arises from some defect or obstruction, susceptible of cure, the fact, that those who for a number of years have had no children, when once becoming pregnant—the defect or obstruction being eradicated—have children in close succession, may be adduced as almost conclusive proof.
