DISEASES OF WOMEN.
"Woman's Weakness"


A new and systematic method.
In the diseases peculiar to women
we employ an entirely new and
uneXcelled method, one pro-
claimed in all the leading hospit-
ais OF the East and Europe to be
superior in every feature to any
system known in all the ages past.
We feel in thus adopting this
system that we can earnestly and
heartily recommend every lady
suffering from uterine or ovarian
troubles of any kind, or any other
form of female weakness, not to
fail by any means to avail them
selves of the chance to be cured.
These painful and distressing
troubles which make the life of a
woman most miserable, and lay
the foundation for a premature
death, are brought under a special
line of treatment, which affords
immediate relief and most pleas
ant and effeCtual cure.
