u all ages Of the world, poets. scientists and
men OF prominence have looked With enthusi-
asm often akin to reverence upon women: but
i is only within the last few years that she has
begun to assume her right place, not only in
society, but with the world In general. Why
20 desirable an end should have been so long
delayed 1t Is difficult to understand; but that
It has at last come is certainly cause for graft
Iude. In her social sphere, In her mental de-
and especially in her physical I'M
woman has shown wonderful
advancement and such as astonishes the world.
They who have made careful investigation
tell us thas heather women are much more able
TO endure pain than are the women of eiYiliza-
tion, but civilized women would resent the
charge that they are weaker because they are
civilized. distinguished writer says : !" If the
women Of civilization are less able to endure
the taxation of their physical resources than
are heather women, it is mere accidental cir
cumstanee and one within their control"
Let rs consider for moment the possibilities
which present themselves to every woman,
When the body is healthy beauty is certain to
appear, even In features and forms once plain !;
indeed, 1t Is the only known way to become
beautiful, and all other preparations, powders,
stays and laces are contemplate delusions
With health and beauty IN all their attractive

and all the luxurious attendants OF q healthy
body come forth. The maiden feels the glori-
oas possibilities Of life: the mother becomes
conscious of the grandeur of maternity and the
joys Of family. All this is not only woman's
privilege, it is her duty, and 1T embodies the
highest definition of woman's rights
After enumerating many of the blessings that
follow perfect health the speaker continued
Allthese desirable things can be accomplished,
butIn one way only. The Creator has given both
woman and man perfect physical forms. and
each is constttutionally equal to all natural de-
mands. tits mistaken and ,pernicious notion
that one Is strong and the other weak. No
curse was pronounced upon woman which did
not apply with equal penalty against man. II
women believe the fatalism that disease is a
necessary condition of their existence it is
chiefly because the disciples of the schools OF
medical practice have been utterly incapable
OF competing with the multitude OF ills which
by personal carelessness or professional IncOm-
potency. they have permitted to fasten upon
women.
A few weeks ago I received a call from q
charming lady. whose earnest face clearly
showed that she desired advice ard assistance.
Upon questioning her she stated that she be-
lieved she was suffering from paralyzed liver
and wished to know If could in any way aid
her recovery. Now. imperfect as her Statement
was in regard TO the disease which troubled her
there is no doubt that
THOUSANDS OF WOMEN
are suffering oday, from similar troubles, who
do not recognize their cause so nearly as this
lady did. Paralysis means death of the member
paralyzed, and torpidity of the liver is the firs
stage OF its dissolution. This is one of the mos

have seen very much of the troubles and ills
to which women have been subjected and ]
have learned to sympathize while I have
sought to relieve. In endeavoring to carry re-
lief have tried to be free from prejudice and
have In view but one end, namely-to help
those who are suRering and l feel it is my
privilege to-day to state that I believe there is
means whereby those women who are suffer-
ing can obtain complete relief and those who
are in health be continued in its enjoyment.
A few years ago prominent and wealthy gen.
tleman residing in Rochester, n. Y, was given
up to die Of Bright's disease of the kidneys.
By means OF simple and purely vegetable
remedy he was restored to perfect health, and
has since been the means of saving the lives of
many others. 30 efficient did
HIS DISCOVERY
prove In the case Of many well-known men,
that it began also to be used by ladies, and to-
day thousands of women, in all parts of the
land, owe their restored health and continued
happiness to the wonderful power Of Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Mr.. Warner has
the written testimony Of hundreds of the best
ladies in the land enthusiastically praising the
remedy, and thankfully expressing their graft
tude for health. These letters are sacred, and
cannot be given to the public, but they over.
whelmingly verify all the facts above stated.
Nature has given woman delicate, .watchfll,
alert instinct, and she has found this remedy
to be what her sex for years has needed, to re-
store and maintain the perfection of nature.
She resents the imputation that she is bound to
suffer all the ills that attack her. She recog-
nizes that suffering is but an incident of her
existence, and that this incident is wholly
within her control, If she can find the necessary
helps which nature provides. The changeable
character of our climate, the oTttimes exciting
and enervating customs of society, of fashion
and of necessity, all conspire to impair the vi
tality of women. II we add to these the ex-
hausting duties of motherhood, and the mental
anxiety for the success of her husband in all
his laudable ambitions, which play upon her
energies, is 1t surprising that thus burdened
she should break d Wn under this physical
strain BY no means. On the contrary, the
wonder is that she has maintained her physical
strength as she has

You yourselves very well know what the cir
cumStanceS are which have rendered her life q
burden. You also know that the
PRIMARY CAUSE
of physical degeneration is impure blood. The
performance of the natural functions Of
womanhood and motherhood is not disease,
nor should it be SO treated. Disease is the re-
suit of the transgressions Of physical laws by
our ancestors or by ourselves, and the natural
coursngs Of the blood should not be so consid-
cred. II, however, the blood be impure, it is
certain to produce its poisonous effects in the
parts with which 1t comes in contact, and thus
cause inflammations and the innumerable ills
that make the physical life OF woman so hard to
