HELMBOLD'S
Extract Buchu

Hundreds suffer on in silence, and hundreds Of
others apply vainly to druggists and doctors who Ell
Their merely tantalize them with the hope of a cure
| or apply remedies which make them worse. T uon,d
not assert anything that would do injustice to the at
hcted, but am obliged to say that although It NAV
produced from excessive exhaustion of the powers
oflife, by laborious employment unwholesone air
and food, prouse menstruation, the use OF tea and
coffee, and frequent childbirth it is far oener caus
ed by direct irritation, applied the mucous mem
brane of the vagina itself.
When reviewing the causes ofthese distressing
complaints, 1t is most painful to contemplate the at
attendant evils consequent upon them 1t is but sim
pie justice to the subject to enumerate few of the
many additional causes which SO largely affect the
me- 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
corporeal development to be wasted and perverted
in the restraints dress, 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, perverting
in midnight revel the hours designed by nature for
sleep and rest the work of destruction is half accom-
plished.
In consequence of this early strain upon her sys-
tenn, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate
voary to retain her situation in school at later day
thus aggravatng 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 forbiddng
the exercise indispensable to the attainment and re-
tenton organic health and strength; the exposure
to night air; the sudden change of temperatures the
complete prostration produced by excessive dancing
bust OF necessity, produce their legitimate effect. AT
least an early marriage caps the climax of misery,
and the unfortunate one, hitherto SO utterly regard
lees OF the plain dictates and circumstances 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 generatve organs, they require an education Of
their peculiar nervous system, posed OF what is
called the tissue, which is, in with the fe-
male breast and lips evidently under the control Of
mental emotions and associations at an early period
of lfe and we shall subsequently see these emo
tons, when excessive Lead long before PUBERTY to
habits which sap the very life OF their victims ere
