A short time since an article appear
ed in the columns Of this paper, beng a
synopsis of a lecture delivered by a
prominent women before a well known
New England society. This article
dealt so directly with the needs II
women. and contained SO msny hints
which were valuable, that it naturally
attracted 20 little attention, and has,
we learn, been a subject Of comment
in social circles in nearly every part of
the land. Realizing that no subject
can be Of more vital importance, as well
IS interest to all readers, than the con-
dition of the women OF America, we
have collected and prepared With con-
siderable care. 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
usually with ad niration. Sara Bern
hard declared she didn't see how any one
could resist falling in love with ''those
pretty American ladies' She might
hive added, that even her far famed
French nation would find it difficult to
equal. much less excel, American o
men IN quickness of perception and
brilliancy of intellect. The minds and
manners Of American women are all
that can be desired but It is a lament
able fact that their physical frames are
far inferior in comparison with their
social and mental characteristics. The
women Of England are noted for their
fiorid health; those of Germany fortheir
strong constitutions, and the ladies OF
France for their cxuberance of spirit /;
but American women possess no one Of
these qualities IN any prominence, and
all Of them only a slight degree. The
reason for this must be plain to every
careful observer. Seientary ways, de-
vsiion to fashion-but above all anc
more than all, carelessness and indif-
ference 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. The II
regular ana Indifferent mannerof living
brings about the most serious results
and is both directly and indirectly OF
untold injury to the race. The c.uss.
therefore, being manifestly under the
control Of the women themselves, the
power to remove it must naturally be
under 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
disease is impure BLOOD. The perfor
nance of the natural functions of Wo-
manhood and motherhood is not . di
sease, nor should il be treated as such,
and to maintain ones health the organs
which make and purity the blood mus,
be preserved III, restored to their nor
mai condition. These organs a the
kidneys aud liver.
1t IS the office of the kidneys tC take
from the blood the poisonous matter
which has been collected from all parts
Of the body and pass it off from the
system. If they are impaired In their
acton they cannot DO this work. the
poison a~ccuInulates, all the organs in
The body which ale sustained by the
blood are weakened and give way, and
finally the Kidneys and contiguous or
gans become the source Of great paiu,
and without prompt relief death is Ger
tain.
II is the office Of the liver to extract
Other impurities FROM the blood and
utilize u portion of them for digestion.
If the liver is disordered all forms OF
dyspepsia occur the bowels cannot eX

t~resSing Inconvenience follow. This
is especially true in the case Of women.
Aud If the bowels are thus inactive and
overloaded the neighi oring organs,
which are particularly dependent fer
their right action upon the state Of the
liver, bowels and kidncIs. become dis
placed, and the consequences which
ensue are too well known to require re-
statement IN q suggestive article Of this
kind. The secret, however, Of prevent
ing these manifold disorders is to keep
the kidneys and liver in perfect work
ing condition. This is reason, th's is
science, and it appeals with force to
the suffering women of America.
