Home Exercises
(1915?)
Complete booklet
Below: P. 8. At bottom: It's interesting
that exercise, which the booklet rightly promotes,
can stop menstruation if intense enough. The
pamphlet does not mention such intense exercise, however, which modern
medicine finds beneficial in many ways: running, intense
bicycle riding, etc.
|
P. 9. The cures for menstrual disorders throughout the pamphlet are
not usually ones offered today, when research
has uncovered hormonal and other effects not
known in 1915.
