peculiar and important relations which
they sustain, their peculiar organization,
and the Offices they perform. are subject to
many sufferings. Freedom from these
contribute In no small degree to their hap
piness and welfare, for none can be hap

those various female complaints can long
be suffered to run on without involvingthe
general health OF the individual, and ere

premature decline. Nor 10 1t pleasant to
