.. !■; ""VI II f <11 w Thi» drawing toot donatad to The Good Health Amociatlon bg WIWwi Meade Wi DESTINATION: THE ORPHANAGE A MOTHER DIES, as her eighth child is born; and all 8 chil dren must be “shipped-off” to “The Orphanage.” She could not get into a hospital. She was attended only by a midwife. She died! Yet, expert post-mortems said: “This Mother would have lived with a minimum of medical atten tion.” And eight children would be living in their own home, today, instead of in “The Orphanage.” Horrible? Yes, and yet similar things happen in North Carolina almost every day. Records show that in 40 other states a Mother has a better chance of surviving childbirth than a Mother has in North Carolina.... Only 17 out of every 100 “rural Mothers” have their babies in hospitals. Also 25% of our Mothers in rural areas do not have a doc tor when their babies are bom . . . 15,000 babies a year are delivered by midwives in this State. ... Is there any wonder that our people are so solidly behind The Good Health Plan? NORTH CAROLINA’S No. 1 NEED: MORE HOSPITALS AND MORE DOCTORS This advertisement donated in the interest of Good Health by Ecusta Paper Corporation HARRY H. STRAUS, President PISGAH FOREST, N. C.
