It was flung out in print. It was made plain in placards.Models made it still plainer. Safety was acted. Hundreds of young women,trained in this wondrous tale, told it in booth and alcove. The future mother,patiently waiting until she met her chance of one death in twenty in childbirth,came to hear lectures that she might save the child below her heart from onedeath in five births that lay in wait for it. Girls came with their dolls to learn howthey could care later for their babies. Women about to be married came andlearned the perils disease sows and sets in the path of careless love. Men learnedhow they slay mother and child in an ignorance deadlier than Herods. IF ONE BABY SAVING SHOW DID THIS IN ONE CITY, AS IS HERE SETDOWN, WHY NOT HAVE A BABY SAVING SHOW IN EVERY CITY, EVERYYEAR ? Talcott Williams.
