No Old Wives' Tale

BIRTH IS

21 commonplace event: a natural process' for the healthy" woman who follows the instructions of her doctor. The old wives' tales have little foundation, and calm, contented mind is half the battle.

The first thing, a woung must da when she believes she is pre- goant is visit the doctors half the troubles that arise can be pre-. -vented-if-only the doctor is given a fair chance and his advice closely followed. As a general rule she need not depart from the ordinary routine of daily life; one thing she must make sure of is a daily walk in the open air... as the muscles of the body must be kept strani. But violent exercise must be avoided and sport of any kind given up. Suitable exercises may be done on the advice of a doctor.

Fatigue st

guarded against, and nine hours sleep and a short rest at midday the rule. There is no need to, restrict that which is mutually healthy. This is something to remember however: the child obtains calcium from the mother and she usually needs age than is supplied in the ordinary diet-in Hong Kong she is certain to need more. Calcium ls present in milk and gheese and at logo a pint of milk`should · he drunk each day. Iron is also need- ed very specially; this is supplied by liver, spinach and eggs, Vegetables, fruits and sulails must be takra liberally, especially in n climate such as this, Cod liver oil and malt is a good tonie rich in the vitamins A and D as well as jodine. The vitamin twins," oranges and tomatoes, are rich in C. And don't forget lettuce as contaiging vitamin E. Eat brown bread rather than white ----

ast eat down meat.

It is most important to visit the dentist as well as the doctor. It is_possible that the teeth may be- cane troublesome beenuse of luck of calcium.
