In this Chapter Eva Tulene Watt speaks about how health and well-being was taken care of without the use of modern conveniences and going to the doctor’s office for simple aches and pains and the sniffles. Probably the most interesting section of the chapter was the anecdotal that people gave pregnant women in order to keep them safe. Most modern medicine has a lists of Don’ts for pregnancy such as:
• Don’t smoke, do drugs, or drink alcohol
• Don’t eat sushi or raw fish
• Don’t scoop cat liter
• Don’t sit in a hot tub

For the women living around Watt women were told:
• Don’t eat intestines because it will cause the baby to have a long umbilical cord
• Don’t sit around all day and do get up early because if you don’t the baby’s head will be big and flat
• Don’t look at non-human things
• Don’t eat rabbits because your baby will have a split lip
• Don’t look at pictures of monkeys-if you do then your baby’s face will deform
• Don’t go to a dance when you are pregnant

Obviously some of these things are common knowledge to those who receive modern medicine to be untrue. But I think these were guidelines that were to be respected like our own. These people take care of their own selves and usually most of their remedies worked and were respected that why I believe these rules were adhered to by pregnant women and luckily there were coincidences which helped to prove these rules as true.
