WHAT SHE SHOULD DO.
A Few Suggestions of Importance on a
Subject of Interest to the Ladies.
And Certain Facts Which Should be Known
By All Women.
From the Home Journal, New York.

\
This article dealt so directly with the needs
of women, and contained so many hints which
were valuable, that it naturally attracted nc
little attention, and has, we learn, been a
| subject of comment in social circles in nsarly
! every part of the land. Realizing that nc
subject can be of more vital Importance, as
well as interest to all readers, than the con.
dition 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 Europeans always notice
their rcharacteristics-u usually with admiration.
Sara Bernhardt declared she did not know
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 quickness OF
perception and brilliancy of intellect. The
minds and manners of American women are
all that can be desired; but it is a lamenta-
Bile fact that their physical frames are
far inferior in comparison with their social
and mental characteristics. The women OF
England are noted for their horid health;
those of Germany for their strong constitu-
tons, and the ladies of France for their ex-
| possess no one of these qualities in any prom
inence, and all of them only in a slight de-
gree. The reason for this must be plain to
| every careful observer. Sedentary ways,
devotion to fashon-but above all and more
| than all, carelessnesS and Indifference to
| daily habits and duties, have rendered the
women of this land far less strong and healthy
than it is either their duty or privilege to be.
| This irregular and Indifferent manner of liv-
| ing brings about the most serious results and
is both directly and indirectly Of untold in
jury to the race. The cause, therefore, being
manifestly under the control of the women
| themselves, the power to remove 1t must nat
| urally 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
| 50.
The primary cause of suffering from dis
| ease is impure blood. The performance of
| the natural functions Of womanhood and
| motherhood is not a disease, nor should it
| be treated as such, and to maintain ones
| health the organs which make and purify
| the blood must be preserved in, or restored
| to, their normal condition. These organs
are the kidney 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 1t off from the system. If they are i'm
! pared in their action they cannot do this
| work, the poison accumulates, aHthe organs
in the body which sustained by the blood
| are weakened and gave away, and finally
the kidneys and contiguous organs become
the source of great pain, and without prompt
| tO1tEr uCalfI 10 CCItifI.
1t is the Office of the liver to extract other
impurities from the blood and utilize a por-
| ton of them for digestion. If 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 bowls are thus inactive and over
! loaded the neighboring organs, which are
| particularly dependent for their action upon
| the state of the liver, bowels and kidneys,
| become displaced, and the consequences
which ensue are too we'll 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 condition
This is reason, this is science, and it ap
peals with force to the suffering women of
America.
When the body is in a healthy condition
then come beauty of complexion, elasticity
of step, hopefulness of disposition and com
! fort and happiness in the duties and respon-
| sibilities of family. There is, therefore,
every incentive to secure and preserve buoy
ant health.
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure,
| the remedy described in the lecture to which
| reference has already been made, is receiv-
ing, as it certainly merits, the most careful
| attention and the trial of the women of the
land. 1t is pure and simple vegetable rem
edy which is now doing more to bring health
and strength to the American women than
any one thing which has ever been discov-
cred. 1t acts directly upon the liver, kid
neyS and adjacent organs, soothes any in
fammation, allays all pain and r aces those
organs in condition to bring health to the
body and happiness to the life. The man
ufacturers of this great remedy, as we learn
from the lecture, have the written thanks of
thousands OF women-many of them of great
prominence-but these letters are very prop
erly regarded as too sacred for publication.
No true women is pleased to have her ply
sical troubles faunted in the eyes of the
world.
The unquestionable value ofWarner's Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure is all the more man.
lteSt from the fact that heretofore no ade-
quate remedy for the ills of women has ever
been discovered; nor have the medical pro-
fession ever been able to assist woman in her
troubles as she deserves. This is, perhaps,
largely due to the presence of so much big
otry and intolerance in that profession. The
history of medicine is history which illus
trates to the fullest the blighting effect of
bigotry and intolerance. Harvey, who dis
covered the circulation of the blood, was
driven out of England. Jenner, the father
of vaccination, was oppressed and scoffed at. |
Thompson, the founder of the Thompsonian |
theory, was the victim of hateful conspir- |
acy. Morton, in MASSACHUSETTS, who intro |
duced the use of ether in surgical operations |
was charged with witchcraft, and vet the |
discoveries of these men are TODAY recor-
nized as of infinite benefit to the race Ii |
is the solemn duty of every physician in the !
land TO take advantage of every opportunity |
which Is within his reach; not to promote the |
interests OF this or that school, but to heal |
the people of their infrmities. All have
witnessed death scenes and felt that if |
skill were equal to disease death might have |
been postponed many years ago-that science |
(if use were made of all the agencies she has |
revealed) was equal to a cure
How many time in the experience of all |
has this been illustrated! A cold is con-
tracted, it refuses to yield to fixed form of !
treatment, the physician may not be candid |
enough to call in the aid of other schools. or |
of independent agencies, and the dear one
dies because the doctor will not exhaust a.
cry erPedient known to the world for relief! |
If he have the courage ofhis convictions and |,
employs outside agencies he is visited With |
expulsion from the society Of his fellows, |
and, forsooth, becomes what they choose to |
call 'quack." When they have exhaust
ed all the agencies approved by their schools
they ''shirk the responsibility of the death |
of their patient by advising a trip to Color
ado or Florida or voyage to Europe! Such
treatmentmay be in accordance with the code |
of ethics, but in the view of the unpreiu-
diced public it is downright cruelty, lift may
not be even more strongly characterized.
There is no reason, however, why the
women in this land should not possess the
best of health and spirits The character of
