In all ages of the world, poets, scientists
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 in 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, women has shown wonderful
advancement and such as astonishes the
world.
They who have made careful investi
cation 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 tor endure the tax
alton of their physical resources than are
heather women, it is q mere accidental
circumstance and one within their con-
troll"
Let us consider for moment the posi-
woman When the body is healthy beauty
is 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 attractive
ness new life dawns.
ENJoYMENTs BEGINS
and all the luxurious attendants of heal
thy body come forth. The maiden feels
the glorious possibilities of life; the moth
er 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 highest defni-
ton of '.woman's rights. ta'
After enumerating many OF the blessings
that follow perfect health, the speaker con-
tinued-
"AI these desirable things can be, ac-
complished. but in one way only. The
Creator has given both woman and man
perfect physical forms, and each is consti
tutionally equal to all natural demands. 1t
is 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 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 incompetency
they have permitted to fasten upon wo-
men. -
A few weeks ago / received call from
charming lady, whose earnest face clear

sistance, Upon questioning her she stat
ed that she believed 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 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.
This is one of the most serious questions
that can arise in the experience of any wo-
man; 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 system. With an imperfect
liver, biliousness, languor, a sense OF bear
ing down, constipation, displacements,
uterine troubles and the thousand ills which
are coupled in their train come thick and
fast. Then follow impure blood and all
the evils which an imperfect circulation
cause A arrangement of the kidneys or
liver causes disease in the organs which
adjoin them just as certainly as a bad
peach Injuries the other peaches in the
basket Not only this, but when these or
gans are in healthy state they restore and
keep in order any irregularity which may
occur in the lower portion of the body.
No woman was ever seriously sick for any
length of time when such was the case.
No serious Inflammation can occur when
the blood is pure, and no blood can be inn
pure when the liver or kidneys are in per-
feet order.
/ have seen very much of the troubles
and ills to which women have been sub
jected, and I have learned to sympathise
while have sought to relieve. In endeav-
oring to carry relief | have tried to be free
from prejudice and have in view but one
end, namely-to help those who are suffer
ing; and feel it is my privilege to-day to
state that believe there is means where
by those who are suffering can obtain com
plete relief, and those who are in health be
continued in its enjoyment. A few years
ago prominent and wealthy gentleman
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. So efficient did

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 abe wonderful

cure Mr.. Warner has the written testi-
mony of hundreds of the best ladies in the
land, enthusiastically; priaising the remedy
and thankfully expressing their gratitude
for health. These letters are sacred, and
cannot be given to the public, but they
Overwhelmingly verify all the facts above
stated. Nature has given women delicate
watchful, alert instinct and she has found
to be what her sex for years needed, to
restore and maintain the perfection of
nature. She resents the imputation that
she is bound to suffer all the ills that at
tack her She recognizes 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 charac-
ter of our climate, the oftimes exactlng
and enervating customs of society, OF fash
ion and of necessity, all conspire to impair
the vitality of women. If we add to these
the exhausting duties of motherhood, and
