Below:
Pp. 14-15. Right
page: "In fact,
some points about
[menstruation] are
still in dispute
amongst the best
informed medical men.
At any rate, we know
that it consists of a
certain flow of blood.
The blood is not like
ordinary blood--does not
contain the vital
properties found in your
blood vessels--hence the
normal menstrual flow is
not weakening, as the
loss of a similar
quantity of blood from a
cut or a wound would be.
On the contrary, while,
shortly before the blood
begins to flow, you may
have suffered from
headache, backache,
dizziness, heat and
aching of the ovaries,
dragging sensation,
etc., at the beginning
of the healthy flow a
sensation of relief
should be experienced,
and the pain and other
symptoms should
disappear with the
continuance of the
flow." PMS.
