When reviewing the causes OF these distressing
complaints, it Is painful to contemplate the at
attendant evils consequent upon them 1t Is but sim
pie justice to the subject to snumerate few of the
many additional causes which so largely affect the
lie 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
corporeal development to be wasted and perverted
in the restraints ofdress the early confinement of
school, and especially in the unhealthy excitement
