PAINLESS MOTHERHOOD

cure
By using a third exhibit a woman can have a baby without pain. It is small black case containing a cylinder of laughing-gas (nitrous oxide) and a long, thick, corrugated like the attachment to a fug- mask. At the end of the tube is a mouth-plece.
It can stand at the bedside with the mouth-plece within reach, and by holding it against her face a woman need only inhale for the agony to fade
away.
In addition, by anaesthetising the pain, this device criables a mother to carry out a doctor's instructions, for the only consciousness it dulls is the consciousness of pain. AH other senses function at full pressure.
