WHAT SHE SHOULD DO.
And Certain Facts WhIc,, should be
Known by All Women.

From the Home Journal. New York.
A short time since an article ap-
peared in the columns of this paper,
being synopsis of n lecture delivered
by prominent woman before the
WELL known New England society.
This article dealt so directly with the
need of women and contained so many
hints which were valuable, that it
naturally attracted no little attention,
and has, We learn, been subject of
comment in social circles i'm nearly
every part of the land. Realizing
that no subject can be of more vital
Importance, as well as interest to all
readers, than the condition of the
women of America, we have collected
and prepared with considerable care,
additional facts bearing upon the same
subject
The ladies of this country have been
more observed and talked about than
those of any other land, and the
Europeans always notice their char
enthusiastically with admiration.
Sara Bernhardt declared she did not
see how any one could resist falling
in love with "those pretty American
ladies'" She might have added, that
even her far-famed French nation
would find it difficult to equal, much
less excel, American women in quick
ness of perception and brilliancy of
intellect. The minds and manners of
American women are all that can be
desired; but it is lamentable fact
that their physical frames are far in
ferior in comparison with their social
and mental characteristics. The
women of England are noted for tlorid
health; those of Germany for their
strong constitutions, and the ladies of
France for their eXuberance of spirits;
but American women possess no one
of these qualities in any prominence,
and all of them only in a slight de-
gree. The reason for tliis must be
plain to any careful ohse e,"er. Seden-
tary ways, devotion to iashion-but
above all and more than all, cereless-
ness and Indifference to daily habits
and duties, have rendered the women
of this land far less strong and healthy
than it is either their privilege to be.
This irregular and Indifferent manner
of living brings about the most Sc
rious results and is both directly and
indirectly of untold injury to the race.
The cause, therefore, being manfestly
under the control, of the women them
selves, the power to remove it must
naturally be under their control also.
American women can possess Just as
charmed lives as though they lived in
Europe or any foreign land, if they
only desire and determine to do so.
The primary cause of suffering from
disease is impure blood. Theperform-
ance of the natural functions of
womanhood and motherhood is not
disease, nor should it he treated as
such. and to maintain ones health
organs which make and purify the
blood must be preserved in, or restor-
ell to, their normal condition. These
organs are the kidneys and liver.
1t is the office of the kidneys to
take from the blood the poisonous
matter which has been collected from
all parts of the body and pass it Off
from the system. If they are i'm
paired in their action they cannot do
this work, the poison accumulates, all
the organs in the body which are sus-
tanned by the blood are weakened and
give way, and finally the kidneys,
and contiguous organs become the
source of great pain, and without
prompt relief death is certain.
1t Is the Office of the liver to extract
other impurities from the blood and
utilize portion ofthem for digestion.
II the liver is disordered all forms of
dyspepsia occur, the bowels cannot
eXpel the waste matter and the most
distressing Inconvenience follow.
This is especially true in the case of
women. And If the bowels are thus
inactive and overloaded the neighbor-
ing organs, which are particularly de-
pendent for their right action upon
the state Of the liver, bowels and kid
neys, become displaced, and the con-
sequences which ensue are too well
known to require restatement in a
suggestive article Of this kind. The
secret, however, OF preventing these
manifold disorders Is to keep the kid
neys and liver in perfect working con-
dition. This is reason, this is science,
and it appeals with force to the suf-
fering women of America.
When the body is in healthy con-
dition then come beauty of complex.
Ion, elasticity Of step, hopefulness Of
disposition, comfort and happiness In
the duties and responsibilities of a
family. There is, therefore, every in
centive to secure and preserve buoy
ant health.
