HEALTH Of AMERICAN WOMAN.

To LEWIS A. SAPhE, NJ, d..
As physician and surgeon Of the highest reputation
call upon 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 irightMl mortality
will ask your attention to the reasons for this, and
then to remedy which has been emineny successful for
many years. and which has the sanction OF the most en-.
lightened physicians IN the country.
The medicines in general use among the profession lor
the treatment of Falling In the Womb Whites, Deranged
aon and local diseases OF the uterine organs, to-
gethe with the constitutional symptoms attending them
are Iron Strychnne Opium, Canthaliaes Conum, Gai,'
nabis Indca Secae Cornutu, and mechanical means such
as Pessaries When administering them the patient Is
informed that she is taking nothing that VIII hurt her
Let us see IHoN, the most harmless anu Tue pest o.
them when given for these complaints, produces heat,
thirst, difficulty Of breathing and Intolerance heaaaches
SEcALE produces nausea, vomiting giddiness oeilu
supor and weight in the head SrRYchNiNh u person
so violent that the most minute doses sometimes ata
and yet given by rule from the book and without due
knowledge Of all the little indications Which may prevent
aom causing death The effect OF OPIUM u TO rG,cyc
pain relaxing the muscles but this very RELAXATION Is
again the Of some of the most orurng complaints
CoNIUM and CANrHARIDEs both cause COMMISSIONS, neat
trcmblings lantness, and general debility. PEssAbiHs
are indicate, and they also iate and cause ulcers nu
td discharges and sometimes lncuraDe diseases VI the
bladder.
In small doses these medicines will not always produce
Immediately fatal effects, but continued as they are in the
treatment Of these diseases, they will inevitably nuro the
SYSTEM and cause lingering and painful symptoms, and
on the way without the aid of these violent posons,
can convince YOU sir that the instratlon OF these
medicines never cured Of uterine disease; but on
the contrary that future suffering and often early death
almost invariably follow their The insduous poison
is gradually absorbed by the system until the patient only
perCeiycs her error in time to find there is no hope
ask you as man and as physician, why Will you
give your counenance to practice which persists IN ad'
mniserlng posons and in driving women to the If very
gravesf o.. &c.,, l..
Fortunately we can turn from this side of the picture to
more brilliant one There is remedy for these com
plants tits not composed of posons but of medical SIM
pies of great efficacy 1t never has nor never can inure
tho system II is certain to effect cure. and its ingredl
ents are at the service of yourself any physician In
series of letters published in the leading papers and ad
dressed to eminent physicians have argued the general
value of the medicines (Marshas Uterine Caholicon) and
have given proof of its efficacy.
My object now Is to call your attention to comparison
of its efficacy with the lai'ure of your own remedies to
contrast its mild and certain action with the harsh and "a
tai effects of the posons administered by the profession
generally and to upon YOU as you value your reuta
ton to use Marshas Uterine Cath0con, or run the risk
of being classcd with those physicians, wo pursuing the
old beaten track excite pity for their ignorance or our
cyecraton for their knavery j. +. BRIDGE,
