be Prolonged.
Synopsis Of Lecture Delivered by Mrs.
DR.. Kenton before the Woman's
Society Of New England.
New York Home Journal.1

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 resent the
charge that they are weaker because they are
civilized. distinguished writer says: eff
the women Of civilization are less able to
endure the taxation of their physical
resources than are heather women, it is a
mere accidental circumstance and one within
their control" When the body is healthy,
beauty is certain to appear, even in
features once plain. With health aud
beauty in all their attractiveness new life
dawns, enjoyment begins and all the luxurious
attendendants of a health body comes forth.
The maiden feels the glorious possibilities of
life; the mother becomes conscious of the
grandeur of maternity and the joys of fam
lily. The Creator has given both women and
man perfect physical forms, and each is con-
stitutionally equal to all natural demands. If
women believe in the fatalism that disease is a
necessary condition of thir existence, it is
chiefly because the schools of medical practice
have been incapable of competing with the
multitude OF ills which, by personal careless
ness or professional incompetency, they have
permitted to fasten upon woman.
few weeks ago received a call from a
charming lady, who stated that she believed
she was suffering from a paralyzed liver, and
wished to know if could in any way aid her
recovery. There is no doubt that thousands
of women are suffering TO-DAY 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 first stage of its dissolution.
torpid and diseased liver carries the elements
of disease to all the other parts of the system.
With an imperfect liver comes biliousness,
languor, sense of bearing down, constipa-
ton, displacements, uterine troubles. and the
thousand ills which are coupled in their train.
Then follow impure blood and all the evils
which an imperfect circulation cause. No
woman is seriously sick for any length of time
when the blood is pure, and no blood can be
impure when the liver and kidneys are in per-
feet order. 1 feel it my privilege to-day to
state that believe there IS means whereby
women who are suffering can obtain complete
relief, and those who are in health be contin-
ued in its enjoyment. A few years ago
prominent and wealthy gentleman residing in
Rochester, n T., 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. So eff cient did
this remedy prove in the case of many we'll
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 this wonderful power
and efficacy of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure and Safe Pills. The first cause of
i'll health is impure blood. The perform
ance Of the natural functions of womanhood
and motherhood is not a disease, nor should
it be so treated. If, however, the blood be
imp ure, it is certain to produce poisoning
effects in the parts with which it comes IN
co intact, and thus cause infammatlons and the
innumerable ills which make the physical
life of woman SO hard to endure. am aware
a prejudice exists against proprietary medi-
ciaes, and that such prejudice is too often
we'll founded, but we should discriminate
not condemn all because some are inefficient.
The merits Of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure and Safe Pills have been proved beyond a
doubt. because they deal directly with the
causes of all female troubles.
= The lecture closed with an enthusiastic
commendation of this wonderful remedy, and
urged her hearers to judge of such remedies
on their merits, and. not through senseless
prejudice. The lecture produced SO much
lecture among the ladies, and so much inquiry,
that the Home Journal the following week
presented it's readers with the following ex-
plicit and supplemental article:
Realizing that no object can be of more Wit al
importance or of interest to all readers, than
the condition of the women of America, we
have collected and prepared, with considerable
care, additional facts bearing upon the
subject to which we gave SO much space
in our last issue. The minds and man.
ners af American women are all that can
be desired; but it is lamentable fact that
their physical frames are far inferior in CON-
parison with their social and mental charac-
teristics. The women of England are noted
for their forid health those of Germany for
their strong constitutions, and the ladies of
France for their exuberance of spirits; but
American women possess too few of these
qualities in any prominence, and all of them
only in slight degree. The reason for this
must be plain to every careful observer. Scden-
tary ways, devotion to fashion-but above 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 re-
suits and is both directly and indirectly of
untold injury to the race. The cause, there
fore being manifestly under control of the
women themselves, the power to remove it
must be theirs also. 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 ood acid poison
ous matter which has been collected from all
parts of the body and pass it out through the
urine. If they are impaired in their action they
cannot do this work, the poison accumulafes,
all the organs in the body, which are sustain
ed by the blood, are weakened and give way
and finally the kidneys and neighbOring or
gans become the source of great pain and,
without prompt relief, death is certain. II is
the office of the liver to extract hillary impur-
tiles from the blood, and utilize part of them
for digestion and part for catharic of waste
food If the liver is dlsordered all forms of
dyspepsia occur, the bowels cannot expel the
waste matter, and the most distressing incon-
conveniences follow.
This is especially true in the case of women.
And if the bowels are thus inactive and ever
loaded, the neighboring organs, which are
particularly dependent for their right action
on the state of the liver, bowels and kindneys,
become displaced. and the consequences which
