r circulation is
established, the condition of the blood is improved, the nervous system
is greatly invigorated, and, as a result, the menstrual flow is
established.

This should set at rest a great deal of worry on the part of the mother,
and it means a great deal to the daughter, as well. Now, the mother can
be assured that one great danger is passed, and, with proper care and
attention, there need be no more trouble.

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, however, should be taken for some
weeks or months until the habit is well established and menstruation
appears regularly every twenty-eight days.

=Delicate Girls.=--If the young girl menstruates, and yet is not in good
health, then she should certainly take the Vegetable Compound for a week
before the time when menstruation is expected; the great object being to
establish regularity in the menstrual function.

=Keep the Bowels Regular.=--In all these cases attention should be given

milk.

Daily exercise in the open air is also of value, and the sleeping-room
should be well ventilated, especially at night.

=Menstruation Suspended During Pregnancy.=--During pregnancy menstruation
is usually suspended, although the regular monthly flow may continue for
two or three months. Of course, suspension at this time is natural, and
nothing should be done to bring on the flow.

If menstruation appears when there is a strong probability that
pregnancy exists, then the person should remain quietly in bed and eat
only light food, and every precaution should be taken lest a miscarriage
be brought on.

=Should a Mother Nurse Her Child While Menstruating?=--Menstruation is
also usually suspended during nursing, although not in
