Our reason for this is not that we doubt the efficiency of our methods in normal cases, but that modern research has proved that comparatively few cases are absolutely normal. It is difficult to tell without medical examination whether people are quite normal or not. IF YOU ARE NOT QUITE SURE.—It is only possible in a little book of this sort to deal very generally with a subject so delicate, so difficult to discuss as Birth Control or Control of Conception. But it is a subject on which it is most important that there should be no cause for anxiety at all. Therefore, if there are any points which are perplexing you, anything on which, after reading this book, you feel that you need further information, will you write to our Health Bureau? There are two people there, Mr. A. N. Hancock, the Chief Chemist, and Mrs. Rose Skelton, the Manageress, who will be very glad to help you as they have already helped thousands of others. Their experience and knowledge in these matters is profound. Mark your letter ‘‘ Personal” and it will be treated as strictly confidential and destroyed when dealt with. Should you prefer to call personally, you will find the most courteous attention, and the information you seek given with such delicacy that it could not possibly offend even the most shy and sensitive.
