HEALTH OF AMERICAN WOMEN

10 LEWIS A. SAYRE, M. D.;
As a physician and surgeon OF the highest reputation, l
call npon you to consider q 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 hom any other cause,
and that they are unable to cure the diseases or to arrest
this hightml mortality
will ask Your attention to the reasons for this, and
then to a remedy which has been eminently successful for
many years, and which has the sanction Of The most en-,
hghtened physicians in the country.
The medicines in general use among the profession for
the treatment Of Falling in the Womb, Whites. Deraneea
Menstruation and local diseases of the uterine ORGANS. 10,
eether with the constitutional symptoms attending them,
are IRON Strychninc, Opium, CanthaIides, Conluni, Can.
na6is lndica, Secale Cornutum, and mechanical mean such
as Pessaries, When administering them, the patient il
informed that she is taking nothing that will hurt her.

SEcALE produces naussea, vomiting, giddiness, delifium.
stup0r and weight in the head. STRycHNINE is q poison
so viOlent that the most minute doses are sometimes fatal,
and yet It'll given by rule from the book, and without ana
knowledge OF all the little Indications which NAV prevent
it iaom causing death. The effect of Opium is to relieve

CoNitM and CANrHARIDEs both cause CONCLUSIONS, heat,
t%renblings, hintness, ard general debility. PEssApIEs
are indellcate, and they also initiate and cause ulcers, pu.
IND discharges, and sometimes incurable diseases OF tLe
bladder.
In small doses these medicines will not always produce
Immediately fatal effects, but continued as they are in the

system, and cause lingering and painful symptoms, and

j can convince yOu,s sir, that the administration of these
redlcines never cured a case OF uterine disease; but On
the contrary, that future suffering and often anearIy death
almost invariably follow their use. The insiduous poison
is gradually absorbed by the system until the patient only
Ferceives her errOr. In time to find there is no hope.
l ask you, as a man and as a physician, why will you
give your countenance to a practice which persists in sd.
ministering poisons and in driving women 10 their ycrS
graves?
Fortunately we can turn from this side OF the picture to
a more brilliant one. There is a remedy for these com.
plants. Its not composed OF poisons but Of medical sim.
pies OF great efficacy. It never has nor never can irjuIs
the system. II is certain to effect q cure. and its ingredi
enis are the service of yourself or any physician. Ina
series Of letters published in the leading papers and adj
dressed to eminent Physicians, ] have argued the general
value Of the medicines (Marshall's Uterine Calholicon) and
have given proof OF its efficacy.
my object now Is to call your attention to q comparison
OF its efficacy with the iai'ure Of your own remedies; to
contrast ITS mild and certain action with the harsh and IA.
tai ELECTS OF The poisons administered by the profession.
and to urge upon you, as you value your repota'
ton, 10 use Marshalts Uterine Catholicon. or run the risk
Of being Chased with those physicians, who, pursuing the.
beaten track, excite our pity for their ignorance or our
for their knavery j. r. BRIDGE,
