"For more than rs years."
ga long time certainly. How did
you happen to enter the field at that
early day when women in the pro-
fessions were specially frowned down
upon"
81 think / must have inherited
taste from my father, Prof. ]. c.
Wood, of Harvard college. He was
eminent in the profession, a 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. l felt infatu-
ated with medical science, even then
and the infatuation has continued up
to the present time"
"And did you begin your studies
so early in life ?"
81 can hardly remember when l
began, for | can not remember when
I did not read medical literature.
You would scarcely believe it, but
l was slender girl and did not
weigh over 100 pounds, but l use to
sit up night after night until o'clock
in the morning porting over my
studies and never dreaming of the
fight of time. 1t seemed as though
calls for my attendance on the sick
always came unsolicited. | certainly
cannot fix the date when | first be-
gan practicing. OF course most of
my patients. were women and the natu-
raj sympathy l felt for my sex has
increased during all these years where
| have been brought so closely in
contact with them and have learned
to anticipate their needs and sympa-
thize with their sufferings. After the
opening of the Boston Medical Col
lege | appeared before the faculty;
passed examination and received a
diploma. 1 had practiced for years
previous to that time, but thought it
desirable to receive another diploma,
which did without any effort"
"Your experience with the many
and serious diseases of women having
been so extensive must also be valua-
BILE? Can you give me some facts
regarding them ?'
81 find that woman seems born to
suffering, and where she avoids it, it
is by reason of some care on her part
or owing to some special renewing
power. 1t is true some women go
through life without unusual suffering,
but they are none the less in danger
for there are critical periods all along
their pathway when the utmost pre-.
caution is required. The innumera-
BILE complaints called female weak
nesses the irregularities CT life and
changes of the system all indicate
the perils which hang over every wo-
mans career, and which, unless at
tended to, may result disastrously."
"But is there no way by which
these terrible troubles can be avoid
ed ?''
"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 in
my treatment of their troubles, but
there have been many cases that
seemed special stubborn. l recall
one in particular. | had exhausted
all the usual expedients and the re-
suits were not satisfactory. l became
worried over the case and really did
not know what to do, but finally
thought would try something out
of the usual line. l had heard a Ger.
tain remedy recommended very high
ly and So procured some and made
a chemical analysis of it. found it
was perfectly pure and that the in
gradients were unusually valuable.
So began giving it to my patient,
changing it, however into a bottle OF
my own. To my great JOY it seemed
to have an almost immediate effect
and complete cure was the result.
Since then l have used it constantly
in my practice and have cured every
form of female weakness, as we'll as
displacements, dropsical tumors
cellu dropsy and all such troubles.
have also used it with the best re.
suits in cases of pregnancy and gesta
ton. Indeed | have found it oil
untold value and benfit."
"Have you any objection to Civ
ing me the name of this remedy oil
which you speak ?"
"None whatever. 1t is Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure"
"Why that is a proprietary medi-
cine !"
Certainly, but what of that? /
have but one end in view in the treat

restoration to health. In the accom-
