What a Woman Of Prominence in
the Medical World Has to Say
About Her Sex.

Synopsis of a Lecture Delivered by Mrs.
Doctor Kenton, Before the Woman's
Society of New England.
From the Home Journal New York
In all ages of the world, poets, scien-
fists and men of prominence have looked
with enthusiasm often akin to reverence
upon woman; but it is only within the last
few years that she has begun to assume her
right place, not only i'll society, but with
the world in general. Why so desirable an
end should have been SO long DELAYED it is
difficult to understand; but that it has at
last come is certainly cause for gratitude.
In her social sphere, in her mental develop
ment and especially in her physical i'm
provement, woman has shown wonderful
advancement and such as astonishes the
world.
They who have made careful investiga-
ton tell us that heather women are much
more able to endure pain than are the
women of civilization, but civilized women
would resent the charge that they are
weaker because they are civilized A dis.
tinguished writer says; eff the women of
civilization are less able to endure the taxa
ton of their physical resources than are
heather women, it is mere accidental cir
cumstance and one within their control"
Let us consider for moment the posi-
bilities which present themselves to every
woman. When the body is healthy beauty
Iis certain to appear, even in features and
forms once plain; indeed, it is the only
known way to become beautiful, and all
other preparations, powders, stays and laces
are contemplate decisions. With health
and beauty in all their attractiveness a new
life dawns,

and all the luxurious attendants of a
healthy body come forth. The maiden
feels the glorious possibilities of life; the
mother becomes conscious of the grandeur
of maternity and the joys of a family. All
this Is not only woman's privilege, it is her
duty, and it embodies the hig hest definition
of woman's rights"
After enumerating many of the blessings
that follow perfect health, the speaker con
tinued:
All these desirable things can be accom-
pllshed but Ill one way only. The Creator
has given both woman and man perfect
physical forms, and each is constitutionally
equal to all natural demands 1t is mis-
taken and pernicious notion that one is
strong and the other weak No curse was
pronounced upon woman which did not APP
ply with equal penalty against man. II
women believe the fatalism that disease is q
necessary condition of their existence it is
chiefly because the disciples of the schools
of medical practice have been utterly in
capable of competing with the multitude of
ills which, by personal carelessness or pro-
fessional lncompetency, they have per
mltted to fasten upon women.

charming lady, whose earnest face clearly

that she believed she was suffering from a
paralyzed liver and wished to know if
could in any way aid her recovery. Now,

the disease which troubled her, there is nc

the liver is the first stage of its dissolution
This is one of the most serious questions
that can arise i'll the experience of any
woman; for torpid and diseased liver can
not be cured at once, and it carries with it
the elements of disease to all the other parts
of the sytem. With an imperfect liver,
blliousness, hnguor, a sense of bearing
down, constipation, displacements, uterine
troubles and the thousand i'll which are
coupled in their train come thick and fast.
Then follow impure blood and all the evils
which an imperfect circulation cause. A

disease in the organs which adjoin them just

She recognizes that suffering is but an Incl

is wholly within her control, if she can find
the necessary helps which nature provides.
The changeable character of our climate,
