I myself have had five children, all living. I had the five in seven
years and two months, so you see for yourself I had them all very
little, and no Maternity benefit to help me, and only a small wage
coming in--say 25s. a week--so I had to go back to the mill when fit
for work, to help to keep home right, which I don’t think did me or
the children any harm, for I have not paid 10s. to a doctor in all the
bringing up of the five children, nor for myself. No still-born nor any
miscarriages.
