PAINLESS BIRTH METHOD
DESCRIBED TO WOMEN
Mrs. Robert B. Liggett Tells Audience at Heilig That Treatment Is No
Longer Experimental and Asks for Investigation.
BY LEONE CASS BAER.
it
A
ND the Lord caused a deep
.ileep to fall upon Adam, and
took from his side a rib and
fashioned it in the form of a woman.''
Which is probably misquoted in actual
text, but sufficed last night at the
Heilig to throw an audience of repre
sentative Portland, women into gales
of mirth, when Adele" McClaren Lig
gett (Mrs. Robert B. Liggett on her
visiting cards) harked back to Biblical
lore, to record the first case of a pain
less birth.
i A fascinating, fearless personage,
alert and diminutive, dramatic in her
instincts, and decidedly good to look
upon and listen unto is this lecturer.
She attacks her subject knowingly,
and yet confesses that she is not per
sonally advocating "Twilight Sleep,"
whose message she is bringing in pic
tures and story to interested women.
It is for the women to take it, or
leave it, at their own discretion. - .
Mrs. Liggett truthfully presents
every phase of the subject and when
her talk is finished turns the event
into an open discusion, in which
women in the audience feel free to,
ask questions.
. Women Ask Questions.
. At las' night's lecture every work
ing angle of the subject was presented
either through Mrs. Liggett's explana
tions or the questions of interested
ones in the audience.
'We do not want any woman to in
dorse Twilight Sleep until she knows
all 'here is to know about it," said
Mrs.. Liggett. "One of our objects in
asking for thorough investigation of
it 'b to prevent this method, if it is
what we want, from getting into the
hands of quack physicians.
"Women from time immemorial have
begged for'relief from the dangers and
suffering of motherhood, and we shall
go on demanding relief until science
makes some contribution toward less
ening the pain we go through to give
life.
" 'Twilight sleep is no longer an ex
periment. - It has been used for ten
years in Germany and in fact all over
the world, and its fame is growing
daily. But it is most remarkable that
this, the greatest boon to womankind
that science has given the world, is not
better understood and generally ac
cepted In the United States.
Pictures Help Explanation,
-. It Is to explain in detail the tec
nique of this treatment in maternity
sleep that Mrs. Liggett's lecture em
braces. This information, told in terms
easily grasped by the average wom
an's understanding", is augmented by a
series of motion pictures which carry
the expectant mother through the twi
light sleep treatment to the time she
is ready to walk, 24 hours later. The
pictures were taken by Dr. Kurt
Schlossingk at Frieburg, Germany, and
are interesting to the curious. '
Mrs. Liggett touched humorously on
the world-old ideas some . feminine
minds hold that suffering in child-birth
is necessary to "develop mother love.
"What, then developes paternal
love?" she queried, - and her women
hearers applauded vigorously. Mrs.
Liggett took occasion to deny vigor
ously statements -attributed to her in
the press, wherein she is quoted as
saying the "bearing of children should
be restricted solely to plebeian women."
"What I did say, and do say," said
Mrs. Liggett, "is that the exponents of
twilight sleep, not I, offer as their
plea for the susceptibility to pain of
the average educated woman that the
lower down in the -human scale the
woman is, the less she suffers. The
higher mentally Bhe ascends the more

trouble she has bearing children."
Mrs. Liggett does not claim that the
twilight sleep method is ideal, and in
fact points out its dangers and its
failures, but she asks that women in
vestigate what it has done and realize
it is no longer merely an experiment.
The lectures will continue at the Heilig
all week, beginning each afternoon at
2:30 and each night at 8:30.
