FAMILY LIMITATION. 5 Mark it accordingly on your private calendar ; do not leave it to memory or guess work. Only ignorance and indifference will cause one to be careless in this most important matter. If a woman will give herself attention BEFORE the menstrual period arrives, she will almost never have any trouble, but if she neglects herself and waits to see if she "comes around," she is likely to have difficulty. If a week has elapsed with no signs of the menstrual flow, then it is safe to assume conception has taken place. Any attempt to interfere with the development of the fertilised ovum is called an abortion. No one can doubt that there are times where an abortion is justifiable but they will become unnecessary when care is taken to prevent conception. This is the cure for abortions. NO SAFE PERIOD. There is current among people an idea that conception can take place only at certain times of the month. For instance : ten days after the menstrual period, and four or five days before the next period. This is not to be relied upon at all, for it has been proven again and again that some women conceive at any time in the month. Do not depend upon this belief, for there is no scientific foundation for it. There is also the knowledge that nursing after childbirth prevents the return of the menstrual flow for several months and conception does not take place. It is well not to depend upon this too much, especially after the fifth month, for often a woman becomes pregnant again without having "seen anything" or without her realising that she has become pregnant. She thus finds herself with one at the breast and another in the womb. Use some preventive. COITUS INTERRUPTUS. Perhaps the commonest preventive excepting the use of the condom is "coitus interruptus" or withdrawal of the penis from the vagina shortly before the ejection of the semen. No one can doubt that this is a perfectly safe method ; and it is not considered so dangerous to the man as some authorities have formerly viewed it, but it requires
