What q Lady of Great Prominence Has
 to Say About Her Sex.
 From the Boston Globe.l
 On a recent trip by representative of this paper to the city of Haverhill, Mass, most important incident occurred, which can not fail to be of the greatest interest to all, and especially to lady readers. The newspaper man met lady trifie past mid de age with luxurious white hair that con- trasted strikingly with piercing black eyes. She possessed straight, full labit, womanly butcommanding combined with mannerswho'e ly lady like, and yet pronounced Any acute fudge of human nature could see at once that he was in the presence of an unusual person age-one destined to accomplish more than most of her sex, and to exert an influence far reaching in it's power. This lady was Mrs. M. W. Wingate. Almost from childhood she has taken a special interest in the bodily troubles of her sex and has probably been mom successful in relieving suffering and saving lives than any other woman in Amer ica. Indeed, she seems to have been to wo- man what Florence Nightingale and Dorothy Dix were to the suffering soldiers. The in- stances of women who were In the greatest agony and apparently beyond the reach of human aid, that she has restored to health and happiness, are almost innumerable, and it was only natural that the scribe should be- come specially interested and wish to con- verse with her more in detail.
 HOW long nave you been S0SHS6u 1u the practice of medicine Mrs. Wingate ?'
 ''For more than 25 years"
 "A long time certainly. How did you hap pen to enter the field at that early day when women in the professions were specially frowned down upon?"
 q think must have inherited a taste from my father Professor J. c. Wood, of Harvard college He was eminent in the profession, hard worker and equally earnest in his recreations. He hunted considerably and remember when only nine years old used to dissect the birds and animals he had killed. felt infatuated with medical science even then and the infatuAtion has continued up to the present time.''
 ssAnd did you begin your studies so early in life?"
 q can hardly say when began, for can not remember when did not read medical literature. You would scarcely believe 1t, but was slender girl and did not weigh over 120 pounds, but used to sit up night after night until 2 o'clock in the morning boring over my studies and never dreaming of the flight of time. It seemed as though calls for my attendance on the sick always came unsolicited. I certainly cannot fix the date when I first began practicing. Of course most of my patients were women, and the natural sympathy felt for my sex has in creased during all these years where have been brought so closely in contact with them and have learned to anticipate their needs and sympathize with their sufferings. After the opening of the Boston Medical college I appeared before the faculty; passed exam ination and received diploma. I had prac- ticed for years previous to that time, but thought it desirable to receive another diplo- ma which I did without any effort" 'sYour experience with the many and serious diseases of women having been so extensive must also be valuable? Can you give me some facts regarding them?" tI find that woman seems born to suffer \ ing, and where she avoids 1t, 1t is by reason | of some care on her part or owing to some ! special renewing power. It IS true some wo | men go through life without unusual suffer \ ing, but they are none the less in danger, fol | there are critical periods all along their path \ way when the utmost preeaution is required ' The innumerable complaints called female weaknesses; the irregularities of life ane \ changes of the system all indicate the perili | which hang over every woman's career, ane | which, unless attended to, may result dis astrously."
 'sBut is there no way by which these terri ble troubles can be avoided?"
 t"That has been the problem for years The habits of life and the demands of fashion are clearly at war with the health of women \ have been, perhaps, unusually successful II ' my treatment of their troubles, but ther' have been many cases that seemed special. \ stubborn. I recall one in particular. had ex \ Qau5C6Q HI Lu6 uSuHl 6Xp6uI0uLS duo tAo TO \ suits were not satisfactory. l became Wor ried over the case and really did not know ' what to do, but finally thought would trl | something out of the usual line I had heard

 "Have you any objection to giving me thu

 'Why, that is a proprietary medicinel"
 Certainly, but what of that? I have bu | one end in view in the treatment of my pa tients, namely-their restoration to health ! In the accomplishment of this end prescribe what believe to be beneficial, no matter | what the professional consequences may be. ! ''I notice in the New York papers tha Doctors Hammond Agnew and other prom | inent physicians are taking 8 similar stand Mrs. Wingate.''
 ''Yes, and all independent thinkers in tht profession are bound to do so. I am, how
 ever. on the best of terms with my profes ! sional brethren as you can see," and the lady | produced beautiful gold medal mounted, ir the form of badge which had been present ! ed her by the medical society," known as the ! Ensign of the Humble Family, of which she \ is prominent member. After examining il closely, the reporter remarked that the med ical profession evidently were proud of what ! she had done, as she might well be in the | possession of such medal.
 'l am proud of that" she replied, stand \ was also pleased short time since to receive | an offer at large salary to take the profess orship in the new medical college at Walls Walla on the Pacific coast. I do not know how they heard of me out there, but I wa. | obliged to decline their offer"
 And so, in your experience with the dis | eases of women, you have found success, and | that Warner's Safe Cure has been most ! efficient remedy"
 'tYes, I have had unusual success and the remedy of which you speak has been proven | of great benefit. There are, however, some base limitations of it to be found in the mar \ ket; these are bad and should be avoided, but the genuine remedy is one of the very ! best.'
 ''And has not the practice of your pro. | fession injured your health?"
 'sNo, am better now than ever before in
 my life. froze my limbs last winter, while
 riding one cold night to see patient and was obliged to remain indoors for over two
 months. Otherwise I am healthy, as you can | see by looking at me.'
 ''And may publish this interview, Mrs. ! Wingate ?"
 "Yes. If what have told you should be I the means of assisting any women who may
 be suffering, I shall be perfectly willing to have it published ''
