the statement made public yesterday is

Mr.. Dlsraeli for certain reasons, to allow HIM

HelmbOld's Extract of Buchu.

Hundreds suffer on In silence, and hundreds
of others apply vainly to druggists and doctors,
who either merely tantalize them with the hope
OF cure, or apply remedies which make them
worse would not wish to assert anything
that would do injustice to the afflicted, but
am obliged TO say that although 1t may be pro-
duced 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, it is ar
ottener caused by direct irritation ap-
piled to the mucous membrane of the vagina
itself.
When reviewing the causes OF these distress
ing complaints, it is most painful to contem-
plate the attendant evils consequent upon
them 1t is but simple justice to the subject to
enumerate few ofthe many additional causes
which SO largely affect the life health, and hap
piness 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
marriage causes the years that nature designed
for corporeal development to be wasted and
peryerted in the restraints of dress. the early
confinement of school, and especially in the un-
healthy excitement of the ballroom. Thus,
with the body half clothed. and the mind un-
duly excited by pleasure, ,perverting in midnight

In consequence of this early strain upon he

delicate votary to retain her situation in school

one excitement is over, another in prospec-

Females, owing to the peculiar and impor'

liar organization, and the offices they perform
are subject to many suferings. Freedom from
these contribute in no small degree to their

who are Ill. Not only so, but no one of these
various female complaints can long be suffered

OF the individual, and ere long producing per-
