1 "A short time since an article appeared
in the columns Of this paper, being syn.
opsis OF a lecture delivered bya prominent
woman before well known New England
society. This article dealt so directly with
the needs of women and contained SO
Imany hints that were valuable, that it nat
Iuralfy attracted no little attention, and
has, we learn, been made the object ot
part of the land. Realizing that no sub
| ject can be of more vital Importance, as
| web as interest to all readers, than the
condition of the women in America, we
4 hsye collected and prepared with consider
able cere, 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 characteristics with
admiration. Sara Bernhardt declared she
did not see how any one could resist falling
in love with tthose 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 slight de-
| gree. The reason for this must be plain
| to every careful observer. Sedentary ways,
devotion to fashion-but above all and
/ more than ALL carelessness and indifference
| to daily habits and duties, lsave 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 NANTES THY 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
hf,f1x mad off
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 pam,
and without prompt relief death is certain.
1t 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, and
it appeals with force to the suffering
women of America sa
When the body is in healthy condition
there come beauty of complexion. elasticity
of step, hopefullness of disposition and
comfort and happiness in the duties and
responsibilities of a family. There is,
therefore, every incentive to secure and
preserve buoyant health.
Warmers Safe Liver and Kidney cure,
the remedy described in the lecture to
which reference has already been made, is
receiving, as it certainly merits, the most
careful attention and the trial of the wom-
en- of the land. 1t is pure and simple
vegetable remedy which is now doing
more to bring health and strength to the
American women than any one thing
which has ever been discovered. 1t acts
directly upon the liver, kidneys and adj ia
cent organs. soothes any inflammation, al
lays all pain and places those organs in a
condition to bring health to the body and
happiness to the life. The manufacture
ers of this great remedy, as we learn from
the lecture, have the written thanks of
thousands OF women, many OF them OF great
prominence-but these letters are very
properly regarded as too sacred for puhli-
cation. No true women is pleased to have
her physical troubles Haunted in the eyes
of the world,
The unquestionable value of Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure is all the more
manifest from the fact that heretofore no
adequate remedy for the ills of women has
ever been discovered; nor have the medical
profession ever been able to assist woman
in her troubles as she deserves. This is,
perhaps largely due to the presence of so
much bigotry and intolerance in that pro-
fession. The history of medicine is a his
tory which illustrates to the fullest the
blighting effect of bigotry and intolerance
Harvey, who discovered the circulation of
blood, was driven out of England. Jenner
the father of vaccination, was oppressed
and scoffed at. Thompson, the founder of
the Thompsonian theory, was the victim
of a hateful conspiracy. Morton, in Mas
sachusetts, who introduced the use of
either in surgical operations, was charged
with witchcraft, and yet the discoveries of
these men are to-day recognized as of inf
