WHAT SHE SHOULD DO.
A Few Suggestions of Importance on a
Subject of Interest to the Ladies.


Known by All Women.
From the Home Journal, New York.
A short time since an article appeared |
in thecolamns of this paper, being sny- |
oposis of lecture delivered by prom |
inent woman before a well-knoWn New |
England society. This article dealt so |
directly with the needs of women, and |
contained so many hints which were |
valuable, that it naturally at |
traeted no little attention, and has, we
learn, been subject of comment in So
cial circles in nearly every part of the
land. Realizing that no subject can be
of more vital importance, as well as in
terest to all readers, than the condition
of the women of America, we have col
lected 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 charscterists-usual-
ly with admiration. Sara Bernhardt de-
clared 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 wo-
men 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 lementa-
bic fact that their physical frames are
far inferior in comparison with their
social and mental characteristics.
The women of England are noted for
their f1orid health those of Germany for
their strong constitutions, and the ladies
of France for their eXuebernce of splr-
its; but American women possess no one
of these qualities in any prominence,
and all of them only in a slight degree.
The reason for this must be plain to ev-
cry careful observer. Sedentary ways, de-
votiOn to fashion-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 living brings about
the most serious results and is
both directly and in indirectly of
untold injury to the race. The cause,
therefore being manifestly under the
control of the women themselves, the
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 the suffering
from disease is impure blood, The per-
Torrance of the natural func-
tions of womanhOod and mother
hood is not a disease, nor should it
be treated as such, and TO maintain
ones health the organs which make aud
purity the blood must be preserved in,
or restored TO, their normal condition.

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 sys-
tenn. If they are impaired in their action
they cannot do this work, the poison &C
cumulates and all the organs in the body
which are sustained by the blood are
weakened and give way, and finally tho
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 of them for digestion.
If the liver is disordered all forms of
the waste matter and the most distress
ing Inconvenience follow. This is es-
pecially true in the case of women. And
| if the bowels are thus inactive and oyer
loaded the neighboring organs, which
are particularly dependent for their
right atcion upon the state Of the liver,
bowels and kidneys, become
| displaced and the consequences
which ensue are too we'll known
to require statement in suggestive ar
| ticle of this kind. The secret, however,
of preventing these manifold disorders
is to keep the kidneys and liver in per-

this is science, and it appeals with force
to the suffering women of America.
When the body is in healthy condi-
ton then comes beauty of complexion,
elasticity of step, hopefulness of dispo-
sition and comfort and happiness in the
duties and responsibilities of family.
There is, therefore, every incentive TO
secure and preserve bouyant health.
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure,
the remedy described in the lecture to
which reference has already been made,
is receiving, as it certainly merits, the
most careful attention and a trial of
the women of the land. tits pure and
simple vegetable remedy which is now
| doing more to bring health and strength
| TO the American women than any one
thing which has ever been discovered.
1t acts directly upon the liver, kidneys
and adjacent organs, soothes any in
| fammation, allays all pain and
places those organs in condition
to bring health to the body and happi-
ness to the life. The manufacturers of
this great remedy, as we learn from the
lecture, have the written thanks of thou
sands of women-many of them of great
promlnence-but these letters are very
! properly regarded as too sacred for pub
LEGATION. No true woman is pleased to
have her physical troubles Haunted in
the eyes of the world.
The unquestionable value of Warmers
| Safe Kidney and Liver Cure is all the
more manifest from the fact that hereto
fore no adequate remedy for the ills of
women has ever been discovered; nor
have the medical profession ever been
able to assist women IN her troubles as
she deserves. This is, perhaps, largely
| due the presence of so much bigOtry and
intolerance in that profession. The his
tory of medicine is history which il,
illustrates to the fullest the blighting eff
/ feet of bigotry and intolerance. Har-
vey, who discovered 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 theO-
| ry, was the victim of hateful conspira-
cy. Morton, in Massachusetts, who in
| troduced the use of ether
in surgical operations, was
charged with witchcraft, and yet the
| discoveries of these men are to-day rec
ognized as of infinite benefit to the race.
1t 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 inflrmities. All have witnessed
| death bed scenes and felt that if skill
were equal to disease death might have
been postponed many years ago-that
science Cif use were made of all the agen-
cies which she has revealed) was equal
| to a cure.
| How many time in the experience
of all has this been illustrated A cold
is contracted, it refuses to yield to a
| fixed form of treatment, the physician
may not be candid enough to cali in the
aid of other schools, or Of independent
agencies, and the dear one dies because
| the doctor will not exhaust every eXpe-
dent known in the world for relief If
he have the courage of his convictions
and employs outside agencies he is Wis
tied with expulsion from the society of
his fellows, and, forsooth, becomes what
they choose to call 'tquack." When
| they have exhausted all the agencies ap-
proved by their schools they "shirk
the responsibility of the death of their
| patient by advising trip to Colorado
or Florida or voyage TO Europe
Such treatment may be in accordance
with the ''code of ethics" but in the
view of the unprejudiced public it is
downright cruelty, if it 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 the country, the activity of
her surroundings and the opportunities
afforded for recovering lost health and
retaining the same are greater than
