For the purposes of Sec. 6, minor includes a child in the womb.

The general principle is that time does not run against a minor, and the fact that a guardian or next friend might have maintained a suit on behalf of a minor does not take away form the minor the privilege of this section. 

Sec. 6 is an enabling provision, it does not bar an action being brought during the continuance of the disability. The minor can bring a suit, during his minority by his guardian or next friend and can claim the benefit of this section.
