[edit] "Madame Restell"
This article currently confuses Madame Restell with Ann Trow. The former was a pseudonym used by both Trow and her husband for their joint abortion operation. In other words, the name "Madame Restell" is something of a brand name, used in the couple's advertising, and seized upon by the popular press at the time. I hope to one day get around to expanding this article, but in the meantime, I thought I'd point out the confusion. — Brian (talk) 22:28, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
