WILL SHE GROW OUT OF IT?
By Dr. GORDON STABLES, M.D., C.M., R.N. (“MEDICUS”).
The first part of this paper at all events may be supposed to be addressed to young mothers, rather than to young girls, but I have no doubt that the latter will have a peep at it just to see if there is anything in it which concerns them. I shall not tell them whether there is or not. Let them read on and see.
My main difficulty in writing it I feel will be one of condensation. The subject of inherited ailments and congenital malformation is one of such importance that it is a book thereon I should publish, and not a single paper. However, if it leads young parents to think, thinking is sure to lead to action, and with the hints I shall give, and of course the help of their family doctor, many a young life may not only be saved, but children may grow up strong and bonnie, who through neglect or ignorance might have anything but happy futures, and lives so weary that their brevity might well be looked upon as a blessing.
