Booklet (complete) by Gilbert Thayer
(20 pages, Lafayette, Indiana, U.S.A., 1920s?)

Introduction.

Below: Pp. 18-19
"Nothing will relieve the headache so quickly and surely . . . as hot baths . . . ."
"Just why any human being cannot understand that acidity of the stomach means overeating, I cannot see."
"Cancer is a sure sign of filth in the body. . . . Never neglect the use of the Vaginal Douche. Never
allow Constipation to get a hold on you . . . ."
"There is one condition that nearly every woman suffers with that makes childbirth
very hard
and that is Constipation. . . . [T]here is more medicine sold for constipation than all
other conditions put together
, and not one of them will do the work . . . ."
