28 X THE SAN ¥FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 10, 1896. i CiA “Whom the Stork Brings.” O ONE who hae reared a family and knows the “sweet delights of tender, loving eare” can have any adequste appreciation of what is missed by those who do not enjoy the blessings of parentage. The burden of childbearing, together with all the cares and trials of bringing up a family of children, are not to be compared with the burden of the iwife who has no such cares. The mothers who complain of the cares of motherhood—of a noisy house, torn clothes and soiled carpets—often do not stop to balance the blessings against the cares. What is a finger print on the waH if we only remember also the tiny hand that made it? What is a muddy little boot but a thing of beauty to the mother who has so often kiseed the little foot that wore it? Ah, yes, there are cares and trials and hard work, and days and wights of anxiety and waschfulness, but—"'if no little boots were there,” what then? Clean wals, bright carpets, quiet rooms, undisturbed sleep—no, no! These are no price for baby’s dimpled hands and laughing eyes and rosy lips. Let him lord it over us; let nim record his reach daily with a mark around the wall; let him measure his stride upon the carpet and stamp his little foot with mock tyranny and make us all tremtle with a frown, for is he not the king inside these wails, and shall not a king be clothed with majesty and power? What a world it were if there were no babies in it—if we were all adults! We should die of the weariness of living. But there are homes, thousands of them, where the sweet sunshine of childhood never breaks in—where no little wardrobe was ever prepared for the guest “‘whom the stork brings’—and there are others where all the preparations of welcome had been made, but a raven came with the stork and the little stranger passed on to another world. For those who have thus far missed the sweetest, grandest, most ennobling thing in life our baby book is especially prepared. Of course there are cases of sterility which are hopeless, but not many. Most of them are only functional and will yield to the Viavi treatment. And not only those who have failed to bear children should read this article, but those who have found childbearing a heavy burden and those who have failed to bear strong and healthy children. : VIAVL A Pure Vegetable Compound. |\ HOSR | 7,1(__\/\9 A Uterine Remedy.
