WHAT WOMEN wANT.--A well-knowl
physician was talking health matters gen
orally with reporter when the conversation
turned upon the ill-health of women as com
pared with that of the sterner sex.
THE principal cause of woman's i'll
health, - said the doctor, ''is the majority o
women who have passed tler twentieth
year know next to nothing about the exer
lions Of mind and body.
"Wel, women do not eat, drink, dres
with reason. They nbble too much. Thei
stomachs are constantly at work. IL i
almost impossible for that organ to secret
any chyle-that is, the juice which acts as
dissolvent of the contents Of the stomach
so long as that organ is at work. BY thi
too frequent eating rational appetite j
spoiled. Only one thing then, can follow
an impaired digestion and dyspepsia.
''The greatest cause of poor health q
American women, however, is the lack q
nvigorating employment They loll to-
much. The brain and whole muscular sys
TEN bee cpmes sluggish and at last ineapabl
of sustaining any strain at ALL The need {
American women is not doctors and med
cines, but advice and more out-of-door exc
else, more useful employment in the hous
and more interchange of ideas and opinion
Women, instead of being mans inferior an
the weaker of the two, is intended by natu
to lie the greater and the stronger"
