A WOMAN'S EXPERIENCE.
What a Lady of Great Prominenc

What a Lady of Great Prominence
Has to Say About Her Sex.
On a recent trip by a representa-.
tive of this paper to the city of Hav-
erhill, Mass, most important Incl
dent occurred, which cannot fail to be
of interest to all, and especially
to our lady readers. The newspaper
man met a ladya trife past middle
age with luxurious white hair that
contrasted strikingly with piercing
black eyes. She possessed straight,
full habit, womanly, but command
ing, combined with manners wholly
lady like, and yet pronounced. Any
acute judge of human nature could
see at once that he was in the pres
ence of an unusual personage-one
destined to accomplish more than
most of her sex, and to exert an in
fluence far reaching in its power.
This lady was Mrs. M. w. Win
gate. Almost from CHILDHOOD she
has taken a special interest in the
bodily troubles of her sex and has
probably been more successful in re-
lieving suffering and saving lives
than any other woman in America.
Indeed she seems to have been to
women what Florence Nightingale
and Dorothy Dix were to the suffer
ing soldiers. The instances of wo-
men who were in the greatest agony,
and apparently beyond the reach OF
human aid, that she has restored to
health and happiness, are almost in
