Could a Potion Determine The Gender of Your Next Child?

From the earliest days of the humanity, expectant mothers have tried to find ways to predict the gender of their child, some more reliable than others — but what if, instead of merely predicting the gender and then waiting several months to see whether you were correct, you could actually decide to have a boy?

A woman in confinement speculates with a friend — soon an outdated practice?

McGilligan's Home Remedies has pioneered a brew which is purported to do exactly that. This miraculous invention was first released during the summer of 1887, but to surprisingly small fanfare. Sinead McGilligan, owner and lead potioneer at McGilligan's Home Remedies, told our reporters that initially the potion was only made in small batches and sold in a few select locations throughout her home country of Ireland. As the potion grew in popularity, she eventually expanded her operation to include mail-orders throughout the British Isles, and the potion will be available in health and beauty stores nationwide this month.

The potion can be taken as soon as a woman realized she is with child, according to the manufacturer, and is safe to continue taking throughout pregnancy, though must be started before the last month. The formula tastes a bit "eggy," according to patrons who have successfully used the potion, with an acrid aftertaste.

For best results, regular, healthy doses are recommended. At least once per month should be enough to ensure the proper results, according to McGilligan, but we advise our readers not to be circumspect. Why risk yet another daughter when all that hangs in the balance is the mild inconvenience of a weekly potion?

This bundle of joy in triumphant pink could soon be yours!

At long last, this pioneering potioneer has put the fate of women with regards to one of the least pleasant aspects of marriaeg — the actual conception of children — back into the hands of the women themselves. McGilligan's potion is a step forward for women everywhere, who need no longer labor for years with unhealthy pregnancies or repeatedly produce daughters in pursuit of the family heir.
