be produced from excessive exhaustion of the powers

When reviewing the causes Of these distressing
complaints, it is most painful to contemplate the at

pie justice to the subject to enumerate few of the
many additional which 50 largely affect the

mania that exists for precocous education and mar
rage causes the years that nature designated fer

of the ball room Thus, with the body half clothed

In consequence of this early strain upon her sys-

votary to retain her situation in school at later day

restraint of fashionable DRESS absolutely forbiddng

complete prostraon produced by excessive dancing,

least an early marriage caps the climax OF misery,
and the unfortunate one, hitherto utterly regard

delicate nature, becomes an unwilling subject of
medical treatment. This is but truthful picture of
the experience of thousands of our young women.
