As physician and surgeon Of the highest reputation
call npon YOU to consider few facts of the most vita
importance to every woman In the country
The highest Professional authority admit that more wo
men die from uterine diseases than from any other cause
and that they unable to cure the diseases or to arrest
this rehiul mortality
will ask your attention to the reasons for this, and
then TO remedy which has been emnently successful for
many years. and which has the sanction OF the most en-.
ightened physicians in the country ,-..t-...,-.,-.
The medicines ~ general use among te ,ot
Mcnstaton and local diseases OF the uterine organs TO-
geher with the constitutional symptoms attending them,
are Iron strychnine, Opium, Canlhaaes, Conlum, Ca

on the way without the aid of these violent posons
can convince YOU sir, that the administration o. these
r,cdicncs never cured Of uterine diseased but on
the contrary, that future suffering and often early dealh
almost invariably follow their use. The nsduous poison
is gradually absorbed by the system until the patient only
peTceives her error in time to find there is no hope

rive your countenance to practice which persists in ad

graves! ~ .
Fortunately we can turn from this side OF the picture to
more brilliant one. There is remedy for these com

value of the medicines (Marshalps Uterine Cahoco and
have given proof of its efficacy.
My object now is call your attention to comparison
of its efficacy with the TAI OF your own remedies to
contrast its mild and certain action with the harsh and ia
tai effects Of the poisons administered by the profession
generally and to urge upon YOU you value your cputa
ton to use Mashalrs Uterine CathoiCon, run the risk
of being cassed with those reysicans who pursuing the
old beaten track excite pity for their ignorance or our
eyecration for their knavery J. F. BRIDGE,
