I am afraid I have not much to tell from my experience. I have always
been able to look after myself, with the help of a good husband. I have
had nine children; eight are living.
When I tell you my husband is a member of the Hearts of Oak Benefit
Society, you will know I have benefited by it.[B]
_Nine children._
[B] The Hearts of Oak gives a benefit of 30s. at child-birth.
