A Boon for Suffering Woman.

If there are times in life that try mems
souls, there are also times that try women's
souls. AS woman's organization in general
is more delicate than mans so she has spe.
cial functions of more delicate character,
which render her much more liable to de.
rangement and disease, and which require
much more skillful and careful treatment.
No class of diseases tests physicians skill

Female Diseases. No medicine has ever
proved more successful in the cure of such

the smallest form Of vegetable life. So
small are they that 1t would take, In some
cases, a. many as fifteen thousand Of
them arranged In row to extend an inch.
They have different forms, some being
round, some oval, some rod-shaped, and
others much the shape Of corkscrew, or
spiral. In all cases they are 80 small that
one needs . powerful microscope to
study them, and In no case can we per-
ceive them slngly with the naked eye.
When countless millions Of them are
grouped together In mass, or colony,
we can see them - We are able to see at
great distance An approaching army, of
which we are totally unable to distin guish
