FIRST FIVE YEARS OF MARRIAGE THE BEST

Mr. Aleck Bourne, the famous Wimpole-street gynae- cologist, believes that many women worry themselves into chronic ill-health-and that most of the worries are little things arising out of family life which their husbands don't notice.

Writing in the Medical World, Mr.! Bourne says:

As for its failure to achieve uni- versality, the first blow was the re- fusal of the United States to join.
