Girls today ask even more questions than their mothers did. Partly because of a healthier, more normal attitude towards personal hygiene. And partly because of the enormous growth in popularity of internal sanitary protection over the past twenty years.

That's why a teaching guide that covers every aspect of menstruation is particularly valuable. "How Times. Have Changed" is such a manual. It contains anatomical charts. Doctors' papers. Ancient superstitions. And it includes, as well, a discussion of internal sanitary protection.

Also available without charge is a students' leaflet: "It's Natural, It's Normal." Send for both today. Even if you are already covering the subject of menstruation in your classes, this material represents a worthwhile addition to your data.
