relieving suffering and saving lives than any
other woman i'll America. lndeed, she seems
to have been to women what Florence Night

soldiers. The instances of women who were
III the greatest agony and apparently beyond
the reach Of human aid, that she has restored
to health anu happiness, are almost innumer-
able, and it was only natural that the scribe
should become specially Interested and wish
to converse with her more i'll detail
" How long have you been engaged in the
practice of medicine, Mrs. Winsate?'
:" For more than 25 years"
" A long time certainly. How did you
happen to enter the field at that early day
when women in tho professions were specially
frowned down upon?'
- L think | must have inherited a taste from
my father, Professor j. &. Wood, of Harvard
college. He was eminent in the profession, u
hard worker and equally earnest i'll his recrea-
tions He hunted considerably and | remem-
Der when only nine years old l used to dssect
the birds and animals he had killed. l felt
infatuated 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?"
:" can hardly say when began, for ! can
not remember when | did not read medical
literature. You would scarcely believe it, but
| was slender girl and did not weigh over
100 pounds, but 1 used to sit up night after
night until 2 o'clock in the morning porting
over my studies and never dreaming of the
flight of time. 1t seemed as though calls for
my attendance OH tho sick always came I'M
solicited. l certainly cannot fix the date when
l first began practiclng. OF course most of
my patients were women, and the natural
sympathy l felt for my sex has increased
during all these years where L have been
brought so closely in contact with them and
have learned to anticipate their needs and
sympathize with their sutferings. After the
opening of the Boston Medical College |
appeared before the faculty, passed examina-
ton and received diploma. / had practlced
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 valuable! Can you give mo some
facts regarding them"
" / 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 20
through life without unusual suffering, but
they are none the less in danger, for there arc
critical periods all along their pathway when
the utmost preeaution is required. The in
Vulnerable complaints called female weakness
es: the Irregularities of life and changes of tho
system all indicate the perils which hang over
every woman's career, and which. unless
attended to, may result disastrously."
but is there no way by which these terrible
troubles can DO avoided
THAT has been the problem for years. The
habits of life and the demands of fashion are
clearly at war with the Lealth Of women. /
have been, perhaps, unusually successful in
my treatment of their troubles, but there have
been many cases that seemed specially stub
born. | recall one in particular. | had ex-
hausted all the usual expedients and the
results were not satisfactory. / became
worried over the case and really did not know
what to do, nut finally thought / would try
something out of the usual line. / had heard
a certain remedy recommended very highly
and so procured some and made chemical
analysis of it. / found it was perfectly pure,
and that the ingredients were unusually valu-
able. So 1 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 an complete cure was the
result. Since then have used it constantly
in my practice and have cured every form of
female weakness, rs well as displacements,
dropsical tumors, cellu dropsy and all such
troubles. have also used it with the best of
results in cases of pregnancy and CESSATION.
Indeed l have found it of untold value and
benefit.
"Have you any objection to giving me tho
name of this remedy of which You speak,"
None whatever. 1t is Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure"
why, that is proprietary medicine"
Certainly, but what of that?' l have but
ono end in view in the treatment of my pa
tents, namey-their restoration to health
In the accomplishment of this end prescribe
what | believe to be beneficial no matter
what the p OCCASIONAL consequences may be.
SO notice in the New York papers that
Doctors Hammond, Agnew and other prom
inent physicians are taking similar stand,
Mrs. Wingate."
Eyes, and all Independent thinkers in the
profession are bound to do so. / am, however,
on the best of terms with my professional
brethren as you can see" and the lady pro-
duced beautiful gold medal mounted in the
form of badge which had been presented her
by the medical society, known the Ensign
of the Humble Family, of which she is a
prominent member. After examining it
closely, the reporter remarked that the medical
profession evidently were proud of what she
had DONE as she might well be in the posses
sion of such medal
% / am proud of that. " she replied, "and i
was also pleased short time since to receive
an offer at large salary to take the professor
ship in the new medical college at Walla
Walla, on the Pacific coast. l do not know
how they heard of me out there, but | was
obliged to decline their offer"
And so, in your experience with the dis
eases of women, you have found success, and
that Warmers Safe Cure has boon most
efficient remedy"
Eyes, l 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 market;
these are bad and should be avoided, but the
genuine remedy is one of the very best"
"And has not the practice of your profess
sion injured your health?'
"No, am better now than ever before in
my life. l froze my limbs last Winter, while
riding one cold night to see a patient and was
obliged to remain indoors for over two months.
Otherwise i am healthy, as you can SEQ by
looking at me-"
And may I publish this interview, Mrs.
Eyes. If what I have told you should be
the means of assisting any women who may
be suffering, i shall be perfectly willing to
have 1T published.
