1Hundreds suffer on in silence, and hundreds OF
others apply vanly druggists and DOCTORS who Ell
Their merely tantalize them with the hope of cure
or apply remedies which make them worse would
not assert anything that would do injustice to the at
ficsed, but am obliged to say that although it may
reproduced from excessive exhaustion OF the powers
oflife, by laborious employment, unwholesome air
and food profuse menstruation, the use OF tea and
coffee, and frequent childbirth 1t is far otener caus
ed by direct irritation, applied the mucous mem
brane of the vagina itself
When reviewing the causes of these distressing
complaints, 1t is most painful to contemplate the at
attendant evils consequent upon them 1t is but sim
plejustice to the subject to enumerate few of the
many additional causes which so largely affect the
liie 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 precocous education and mar
riage, causes the years that nature designated for
eorporeal development to DO wasted and perverted
in the restraints otdress the early confinement Of
school, and especially in the unhealthy excitemcn.
OF the bali room THUS. with the body half clothed
and the mind unduly excited by pleasure perverting
in midnight reyel the hours designed by nature for
sleep and rest, the work of destruction is hall accom-
plished.
In consequence OF this early strain upon her sys-
TEN, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate
votary 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-
tention organic health and strength the exposure
to night air; the sudden change of temperature the
complete prostration produced by excessive dancing,
must VI necesSty 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 common with the f-
male breast and lips, evidently under the control of
mental emotions and associations at an early period
of life and as shall subsequently see these emo
tons, when excessive lead long before puberty to
