Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,
another from liver or kidney disease another
from nervous exhaustion, or prOStration,
another with pain here and there, and in
this way they all present, alike to themselves
and their easy-going and indifferent, or over
busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
for which he prescribeS his pills and potions,
assuming them to be such, when, in reality,
then are all only symptoms caused by some
womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of
the cause of suffering, encourages his practice
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, but probably worse
by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and
consequent complications. A proper medi-
cine, like DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
directed TO the cause would have entirely
removed the disease, thereby dispelling all
those distressing symptoms and insttutmg
comfort instead of prolonged misery.

THE WOMEN OF EUROPE.
Me Spanish said to BE the Most Beautiful,
the Germans Best Educated.

The celebrated man of letters Paolo
Mattcgaaza, of Florence, is airing his
opinions through German newspaper
~ the women of Europe. lie gives the
1alm for beauty to the Spanish women,
hereby showing keen discrimination
and keen taste. His praise is not, how
aver, wholly unmiNed.
The Spanish woman, he says, SIS
bewitchingly beautiful She has small
hands and feet, and large eyes, like the
open windows of suburban marble
palace A figure full of grace and life,
and long, wavy, dark hair She is very
religious, very ignorant, very jealous,
sensitive, idle and proud"
The English woman, he thinks, is
beauty itself Her hair is like gold.
She has heavenly eyes, peach-like
complexion, delicately formed nose
and good teeth She is reserved, Il
little hypochondriacai, very active and
generally a slave to etiquette But
the French woman is "a cat and SER
pent, a palm and a violet and even
when she is not pretty she is charming
She is amiable, dreadful coquette and
generally false" The women of Ger
many are not graceful as a race, but
are strong and withstand the ravages
of time They are blond, blue-eyed,
with white skins and are more suited
to play the part of wives than lovers.
They are naive, good .natured and in
dustrious and make splendid house
keepers and mothers. They are, on the
whole, the best educated women in
Europe"
The Russian woman is an oriental
type which has been prematurely
transplanted in Europe. In her are
combined the extraordinary charms OF
savage and highly civilized woman.
The Italian woman is generally ignor
ant and is often false. Two important
points in forming the character OF the
women of different nations are, accord
ing to Mettegazza, the religion and the
amount of freedom they enjoy. The
more freedom allowed, the more virtue
