When reviewing the causes of these distressing
complaints it 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
ute, 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 revs 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
votary to retain her situation in school at later day
thus aggravating 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-
tenon oforganic health and strength; the exposure
to night air. the sudden change of temperature; the
complete prostrason produced by excessive dancing
must 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, com posed of what is
called the tissue which is, in common with the fe-
male breast and lips evidently under the control Of
mental emotions and associations at an early period
OF life; and as we shall subsequently see, these emo
tons, when excessive lead long before puberty, to
habits which sap the very life OF their victims ere
nature has self-completed their development
