FULL TEXT (translated from French) – Mothers who entrust
your children to mercenary hands, read attentively the horrible fact that
happened a few months ago in a small village in Tuscany:
In
the said village there was a certain woman, who had the
profession of nurse, her name was Ursula Flepone; she could well have
been in
her thirty to thirty-five years. She lived alone in a neat little house
in the
middle of the fields, and therefore very withdrawn from other dwellings.
Four
wealthy people had entrusted their infants to him. The dear little
beings had
no idea in what hands their worthy mothers had placed them. Poor
cherubim! ... As the parents of babies came to see their children very
rarely,
Ursula had them well and relied on that. She wrote incessantly to
parents
asking them either for money, or for useful items, she said, from the
children.
The parents hastened to send whatever the nanny asked them. When Ursula
judged
that the parents had given enough she .... suppressed the child! ....
And so it was that in the space of fourteen months she wrote
to nine parents that their children had died leaving their teeth weak
... A few
parents having consulted together learned the sad truth about the death
of
their children. Ursula poisoned them with arsenic mixed with milk that
she
gave them ... She was arrested and sentenced to death. Guilty mothers
who drive
your children away from you, ponder this drama, and remember it in the
future.

TEXT: Mères qui confiez vos enfants à des mains mercenaires,
lisez attentivement l'horrible fait quivient des epasser, il y a
quelques mois,
dans un petit bourg de la Toscane: Dans ledit bourgétait certaine femme,
qui avait la profession
de nourrice, son nom était Ursula Flepone; elle pouvait bien avoir dans
les trente
à trente-cinq ans. Elle vivait seule dans une petite maison nette au
milieu des
champs, et par conséquent, fort retiree des autres habitations. Quatre
personnes
riches lui avaient confié leurs nourrissons. Les chers petits êtres ne
se doutaient
nullement dans quelles mains leurs dignes mamans les avaient mis.
Pauvres chérubins!... Comme les parents des bébés ne venaient voir leurs
enfants que
fort rarernerll, Ursula les avait bien et se basait là-dessus. Elle
écrivait sans
cesse aux parents pour leur demander soit de l'argent, ou des effets
utiles, disait-elle,
aux enfants. Les parents s'empressaient d'envoyer ce quell a nourrice
leur demandait.
Quand Ursula jugeait queles parents avaient assez donné elle....
supprimait l'enfant!.... Et, c'est ainsi que dans l'espace de quatorze
mois elle écrivit
à neuf parents que leurs enfants étaient mort senf aisant leurs dents...
Quelques
parents s'étant concertés ensemble apprirent la trop triste vérité sur
la mort de
leurs enfants. Ursula les empoisonnait avec del'arsenic mélange au lait
qu'elle
leur donnait... Elle fut arrêtée et condamnée à la peine de mort. Mères
coupables
qui chassez vos enfants de chez vous, méditez ce drame, et
souvenez-vous-en dans
l'avenir.
