Diseases and Conditions Peculiar to
Females.

The beauty and extreme delicacy of the female organ
ization, TO say nothing of ITS physiological characters
tics, are sufficient indications that il Is sub ect TO forms
of disease and notifications peculiar TO itself. The
physician Of the present day does not encounter any
hfty years ago; but wing TO the present social condition
of woman, her diseases are increased to frequency. and
to the truth of this assertion the melancholy deaths by
consumption bear ample witness.
At the American Dspensary we treat by a
new method, and with the happiest results, Prolap-
sus Ueri, falling of the womb Eruptions Of the
Skin, ChloroSs, or Green by
yeilowish, dirty green palor of the surface; Emansio
hessium, or absent MenstrustiOn; Amenorhea, or Re-
tentiOn Of the Menses; DySmenOrThea, a painful and diff-
cult flow of the Menses; Menorrhagia, or profuse Men,
situation; Leuchorrhea, or excessive and altered secre-
tion of the mucus-generally white, or nearly coloress
and transparent.
Reader, have given you a class Of diseases that are
met with in Females of all ages, whether married or I'M
married; and 20 married Females would say that there
are many other forms OF diseases peculiar TO your sex
diseases Of Pregnancy, Parturitien, and Lsctation. of
which space will not admit an calculation l omit it for
the council chamber, adding but enc more disease to
this list, and that is a formidable lion ofthe
body of the Uterus
II you are afflicted with organic weakness, or any as
semblage OF morbid phenomena Of this character, You
have no time TO spare, but at once apply for med cal
aid. If too late TO arrest the disease, ii is at least posi-
BILE TO palliate the symptoms, and thus smoothe the path
way to an untimely grave.
In a majority Of instances these diseases have made
considerable progress before the patient becomes alarm
ed. In some cases an emaciation Is the first indication
that attracts the attention of the patients friends. And
here, reader, let me call your earnest attention TO the
fearful significance OF the word wasting" Ii not only
constitutes the leading feature, but the earliest and
nest ominous synptOf 5 of Consumption, examples of
which are invariably met with in young ladies who are
gifted with high intellectual endowments, refined sc-
comp 'ishments. and eyes flashing with unnatural bril-
liancy-not regarding these indications as being those
Of incipient disease, bt those OF personal charms.
True, alasl the poet sings
''Consumptions' cheek meier looks more pure,
And lovely, than when past all cure,
And yet that bloom, 30 fresh so still,
Has lent its feeting aid TO Ri,
And speaks, TO those who watch its hue,
Of cknes.. dea.h and suffering too;
Though who, just viewing an ght so fair,
Could dream that death was theref'

A Sad History.

| We yesterday met young and interesting
girl at the home of an acquaintance, who toiC
us q tale of wrong and suffering that would fur
nish material for good-sized novel.
One year ago this young lady left her homo
in Pennsylvania--a home where all the luNu
ries of life were at her command. Her parents
were indulgcnt, and she-,n only child-was
loved by them with all the funess of true pa
rental affection. No wish of hers remained
ungratifed for she was the idol of those pa
rents, and the light of home made desolate
by an act which will forever cast its shadow
on her heart ls @ ..
In February, 1864, she became acquainted
with Mormon preacher, who painted to hel
in glowing terms the glories of Utah and the
Mormon religion. He told her of the beauti
full valley of Utah fortified on all sides by q.
ant mountains, whose peaks, FURNISHED by
eternal SHOWS, looked down upon the valleys
of perpetual green, people by Gods own chos
en- kindred, who were free as the mountain
torrents that leaps the rocks of lofty Iimpan-
agos range. He told her of the content and
pAcc reigning among the saints, and assured
her that the Mornons were Gods own pecul.
lar people, and so she consented to leave
friends, family, and all the cndearments Of
home, and go with him to the Valley Of the
Saints.
Arriving at Chicago, he forced her to mar
ry him, the ceremony being performed by a
mock priest, without record or license. On
last April she left Wyoming, Nebraska, with
Mormon train, for the land Of promise, and
finally arrived in the City ofthe Saints Here
she found that her husband had four other
wives, who regarded her with no tender emo
tions, but heaped abuse and contumely upon
her head
After few months, her liege told her he
had concluded to seal her to another, ,1vho had
taken great fancy to her. that his other wives
were jealous, and declared his last wife should
live with him no longer.
She declared that she would die before she
would thus be put away and forced to live as
the wife of man with whom she had no ac-
quaintance, and had not seen but once in her
life. Her husband told her it was Brigham $
order and she must do so or lose her life
Determined not to be thus sacrificed, she start
ed to run away, with the intention of making
her way to Camp Breckenridge, IN Cedar Val
ley, then garrisoned by United States troops,
and claimed protection. She started on foot,
and after travelling about ten miles was caught
and brought back, placed in q dungeon, or
rather cellar, and was thus kept for a month,
with Just enough food to sustain life.. The
man whom she refused to live with frequently
visited her, and hesought her to change her
resolution in order to save her life.
Through force of, circumstances, she at last
yielded, and was duly installed in his family as
the sixth wife. Here she found as before. the

Discoveries in Assyria.

At q meeting cf the Royal Geographical
Society, u paper was read, describing u visit
to the Tigris and Euphrates. The principal
source of the Tigris issues from cavern
about two miles long, 1.-THE entrance of which
there is an ancient inscription carved in the
rock, and the figure of an Assyran king. The
mountains where these rivers rise abound in
stalactte caves, some of which hare of vast ex-
tent .. .f..
Mr.. Taylor, who made the visit described
has discovered many monuments older by
several hundred years than the Nincveh mar
bles, in the exploration of some ruined city of
the Chaldees. The inscription at the source
of the Tigris, as deciphcred by Mr.. Taylor,
confirmed one that was found upon the walls
OF Nineveh by Sir Henry Rawlison, stating
that the great king of the Assy ians had<ex
tended his conquests to the source of the Ii
girls and Euphrates and had ordered the event
to be recorded on the rock at that place. At
the time these inscriptions were found, neither
explorer had heard of the inscrir ton deci
phered by the other Mr. aylors paper con-
cludes with tribute to the American mission
aries at Aleppo He said that when the Amer
lean missionaries first went to Alcppo, they
were insultcd by the boys and men in the
streets, so much that the could scarcely stir
out with safety; but by steady perseverance,
they succeeded with very inadequate means in
completely changing the state of feeling to-
wards them, and five hundred families became
converts. The converts were not hastily re-
ceived, but were made to undergo probation,
and the moral conduct of the people had been
greatly improved. The mission has now two
churches, and the great work they had done
was accomplished at the expenditure of not
more than SIS 600
