What a Woman Of Prominence in the
Medical World has to Say
About Her Sex.
Synopsis of Lecture Delivered by Mrs.
Doctor KentSn. Before the Woman's
society of New England.

siAsm often akin to reverance upon woman;
but 1t ia only within the last few years that
she has begun to assume her right place, not
only in society, lutWith the world In general.
Why 30 desirable an end should have been 30
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
development and especially In her physical
Improvement, woman has shown wonderful
advancement and such as astOnishes the world
They who have made careful investigation
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 distinguished writer says: "If
the women OF CIVILIZATION are less able to en-
dure tie taxation Of their physical resources
than are heather woman, IL is a mere acct
dental circumstance, aud one within their
control"
Let us consider for moment the p0sslbii
ties which present themselves to every woman
When the body Is healthy, beauty is certain TO
appear, even III features and forms once plain:

body come forth. The maiden feels the plOri

conscious OF tbs grandeur Of maternity aud
the joys or family. All this Is not only wO.

After enumerating many OF the blessings
that follow perfect health, the speaker con.

All these desirable things can be accomplish

given both woman and man perfect physical
forms, and each 10 cOnstitutiOnally equal 10 ali
natural demands. 1t Is a mistaken and PERM
ciOus notion that one is strong and the other
weak. No curse was pronounced upon wO-
man which did not apply with equal penalty
against man. II women believe the fatalisIa
that disease is necessary condition OF their
existence 1t is chiefly because the disciples of

terly incapable of competing with the multi.
tude OF ills, which by personal carelessness OF
professional incompetency, they have permit

Mr.. Warner has the written testimony of hun

pressing their gratitude for health. These let

public, but they overwhelmingly verify all the

that she is bound to suffer all the ills that at.

You yourselves very well know what the cir.
cumstances are which have rendered her lie a

PRIMARY CAUSE
of physical degeneration Is impure blood. The
performance Of the natural functions OF wo-
manhood and motherhood Is not disease, nor
should Ii be 80 treated. Disease is the result of

cestOrs or by ourselves, aud the natural cOurs-
