109. WORK IN A BRICKYARD.

I am very pleased to say that, having one of the best of husbands,

I suffered nothing during pregnancy, only ailments of my own caused

through my mother having to work in the brickyard during her pregnancy

illness--working hard, knocked about, and poorly fed, a good mother,

but a rogue of a father; and that thing will go on until women give up

hard work during pregnancy.
