A WOMAN's EXPERIENCE.
What!a Lady of Great Prominence
Has to Say About Her Sex.

On recent trip By representative Of
this paper to the city Of Havsrhill, Mas,
q mort important incident occurred,
which cannot fail to be Of the greatest
interest to all, and especially to eur lady
readers. The Newspaper man met lady
9 trife past the middle age with luxuri-
Gus white hair that contracted strikingly
With piercing black eyes. She possessed

handing, com bined with manners wholly
lady-like, and yet pronounced. ANY
acute judge Of human nature could see
st once that he was Ia the preeence of an
unusual personsge-one destined 10 &C.
CONF lish more than most Of her sex,
and to exert en- influence far reaching
IN its power. This lady was Mrs M W.
Wingate. Almost from childhood she

troubles OF her sex, and has probably

woman in America Indeed, she seems
TO have been to women what Florence
Nightingale and Dorothy Dix were 10
Iae suffering soldiers. The instances Of
women who were in the greatest agony
md apparently beyond the reach of
human aid, that she has restored to
beSlIh and happiness, are almsst innum-
cradle, and il was only natural that the
scribe should become specially interested
and wish to converse with her more in
detail.

the practice Of medicine, Mrs. Win

" For more than twenty-five years."

happen to enter the field st that early
day when women in the profession were

and equally earnest in his recreations.

science even then, and the infatuation

believe it, but | was q slender girl and
did not weigh ever 120 pounds, but I
used 10 sit up night after night until

Your experience with the many and
serious diseases OF women having been

Il find that woman seems born to suf-
fering, and where she avoids it, it is By
reason Of some care on her part or owing
to some special renewing power. It is
true some women 60 through life without

less in danger, for there are critical peri

But ia there no way by which these

THAT has been the problem for years.
The habits of life and the demands Of
