Few Suggestions OF Importance on SUBJ
ject Of Interest to the Ladies'.
And Certain Facts Which Should be Known
by all Women.
From the Home journal. New Yor4

in the columns of this paper, being a syn
opsis of a lecture delivered by prominent
woman before well known New England
society. This article dealt so directly with
the needs of women and contained SO
many hints that were valuable, that it nat
urally attracted no little attention, and
has, we learn, been made the object of
comment in social circles in nearly every
part of the land. Realizing that no sub
ject can be of more vital importance, as
well as interest to all readers, than the
condition Of the women in America, we
heve collected and prepared with consider:
able core, 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 Enthusiastically with
admiration. Sara Bernhard declared she
did not see how any one could resist falling
in love with "those pretty American Ia
dies" She might have added, that even
her far-famed French nation would find it
difficult to equal, much less excel, Ameri-
can 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 lamentable fact
that their physical frames are far inferior
in comparison with their social and mental
characteristics The women of England
are noted for their ford health; those of
Germany for their strong constitutions,
and the ladies of France for their exuber
ance of spirits; but American women pos
sess no one of these qualities in any prom
inence, and all of them only in q slight de-
gree. The reason for this must be plain
to every careful observer. Sedentary ways,
n fn fachInY1-I1af al nd
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 priv
ilege to be. This irregular and Indifferent
manner of living brings about the most Sc
rious results and is both directly and indi
rectly of untold injury to the race. The
cause, therefore, being manifestily under
the control of the women themselves, the
power to remove it must naturally be I'M
der 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 suffering from dis
ease is impure blood The performance of
the natural functions of womanhood and
motherhood is not 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 kidneys 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 it off from the system. II
they are impaired in their action they can
not do this work, the poison accumulates,
all the organs in the body which are sus-
tanned by the blood are weakened and give
way, and finally the kidneys and contiguous
organs become the source of great pain,
and without prompt relief death is certain.
It is the Office of the liver to extract
other impurities from the blood and utli
ize portion 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 inconven
fences follow. This is especially true in
the case of women. And if the bowels
are thus inactive and overloaded the neigh
boring organs, which are particularly de
pendent for their right action upon the
state of the liver, bowels and kidneys, be-
come displaced, and the consequences
which ensue are too well known to require
restatement in a suggestive article of this
kind. The secret, however, of preventing
these manifold disorders is to keep the
kidneys and liver in perfect working con
dition. This is reason, this is science, anc
it appeals with force to the suffering
women Of America.
When the body is in healthy condition
there come beauty of complexion, elasticity
of STEP hopefullness of disposition anc
comfort and happiness in the duties ano
responsibilities of family. There is
therefore, every incentive to secure ano
preserve buoyant health.

receiving, as it certainly merits, the mos
careful attention and the trial of the WON
en- of the land. 1t is pure and simple
vegetable remedy which is now doine
more to bring health and strength to the
American women than any one thing
which has ever been discovered. It acts
directly upon the liver, kidneys and ada
cent organs. soothes any inflammation, al

ers of this great remedy, as we learn from

| thousands of women, many of them of grea
prominence-but these letters are very
properly regarded as too sacred for publ

her physical troubles Haunted in the eyes

| The unquestionable value Of Warner
| Safe Kidney and Liver Cure is all the mor'
manifest from the fact that heretofore NJ
adequate remedy for the ills of women has
ever been discovered; nor have the medica
profession ever been able to assist woman
| in her troubles as she deserves. This is
perhaps, largely due to the presence of 81
much bigotry and intolerance in that pro
fession. The history of medicine is a his
| tory which illustrates to the fullest til,
| blighting effect of bigotry and intolerance
Harvey, who discovered the circulation o.
blood, was driven out of England. Jenner
the father of vaccination, was oppressed
and scoffed at. Thompson, the founder O.
the Thompsonian theory, was the victim
of a hateful conspiracy. Morton, in Mas
sachusetts, who introduced tho use O.
either in surgical operations, was charged
with witchcraft, and yet the discoveries o.
these men are to-day recognized as of inf
mite benefit to the race. It's the solemn
duty of every physician in the land TO takt
advantage of every opportunity which Il
within his reach; not to promote the inter
ests of this or that school, but to heal thu
people of their infirmities. All have wit
messed death bed scenes, and felt that /
