may last only a few hours in the early morning,
or continue through the greater part of the day. It generally appears in
the second month and lasts only through the third month, although, in
bad cases, it may continue through the whole period, and very seriously
affect the health.

=Treatment.=--There are any number of remedies recommended for the
treatment of this morning sickness. What will cure one case seems to be
perfectly useless in another.

It has been my experience that the best way to manage these cases is as
follows: Have the person take a slice of toasted bread, or a toasted
cracker, with a little coffee if desired, while in bed, remaining there
at least half an hour after eating. Or, the person may take a glass of
milk to which two tablespoonfuls of lime water have been added. Then, by
rising slowly and moving about carefully, it is often possible to go
through the day without any sickness whatever. I have known many cases
to be entirely relieved by eating a little ordinary pop-corn.

=The Morning Meal.=--The morning meal may consist of milk to which a
little lime water has been added; or a poached or soft-boiled egg.
Sometimes scarped beef, lean and rare, salted and spread on very thin
bread, quiets the stomach at once, while it is highly nourishing.

=Only One Medicine Needed.=--It is surprising what happy changes Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound brings about in this condition. The
irritability subsides, the digestion is greatly improved, the nervous
system is strengthened, and all these uncomfortable and disagreeable
symptoms pass away. The Compound should be taken in small doses three
times a day, after meals.

=A Bandage May Relieve Nausea.=--An abdominal bandage will sometimes
relieve the morning sickness, if placed snugly, but not too tightly,
about the body. It need be worn only a week or two, for a trial, and
should always be taken off at night. If the nausea persists during the
day, then let the food be light and taken in small amounts, at frequent
intervals.

="Quickening."=--This is another sign of pregnancy. The word refers to the
detection by the mother of the movements of the child. Although, without
doubt, the child moves within the mother at a much earlier period, yet
these movements are too feeble to be noticed until pregnancy has
advanced four or four and a half months.

=Other Symptoms of Pregnancy.=--Other symptoms are morbid longings for
unusual articles of food, as sour a
