HELMBOLD'S
Extract Buchu

Hundreds suffer ON In silence, and hundreds Of
others apply vainy to druggists and DOCTORS who Ell
ther merely tantalze them with the hope OF a cure
or apply remedies which make them worse. would
not assert anything that would do injustice to the at
dicted, but obliged to say that although it may
produced from excessive exhaustion Of the powers
OF life, by laborious employment, unwholesome air
and food profuse menstruation, the use OF tea and
coffee, and frequent childbirth it is far ofener caus
ed by direct irritation, applied the mucous mem
brane of the vagina itself.
When reviewing the causes Of these distressing
complaints, it is most painful to contemplate the at
attendant evilsconsequent upon Them 1t is but sim
lejustice to the subject to enumerate few of the
many additional causes which SO largely affect the
lite, health and happiness OF woman in all classes OF
society, and which, consequently, affect more or less
directly, the welfare OF the entire human family. The
mania that exists for precocious education and mar
rage, causes the years that nature designated for
corporal development to be wasted and perverted
in the restraints otdress, the early confinement Of
school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement
of the ball room. Thus, with the body half clothed,
and the mind unduly excited by pleasure, peryerting
in midnight reveI the hours gned by nature for
sleep and rest the work of destruction is half accom-
pished.
In consequence OF this early strain upon her sys-
tenn, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate
votary to retain her situation in school at later day
thus aggravating the evil. When one excitement is
over another in prospective keeps the mind morbid
ly sensitive to impression, while the now constant
restraint of fashionable dress, absolutely forbidding
the exercise indispensable to the attainment and re-
tention of organic health and strength the exposure
to night air. the sudden change of temperature; the
complete prostraton produced by excessive dancing,
must of necessity produce their legitimate effect. At
least early marriage caps the climax OF misery,
and the unfortunate one, hitherto q utterly regard
lees of the plain dictates and remoustrances OF her
delicate nature, becomes an unwilling subject of
medical treatment. This is but truthful picture OF
the experience of thousands of our young women.
Long before the ability to exercise the functions OF
the eenerative organs they require an education of
their peculiar nervous SYSTEM com posed OF what
called the tissue, which is, in common with the fe-
male breast lips evidently under the control OF
mental emotions and associations at an early period
of life; and as shall subsequently see, these
tons when excessive lead long before puberty, to
habits which sap the very life OF their victims
