OVARINE
(Hammond.)

The emotions In women are largely In.
auenced by the ovaries, and the ovaries
are in turn decidedly influenced by the
emotions. Professor Skene, one Of the
most distinguished authorities on Diseases
Of Women, states that grief. fear, anger,
and'ev great joy are capable Of arrcst-
ing menstruation.
I'm order to maintain harmo-
"nious action Of the whole organization
"it Is necessary that the ovaries shall
"exist in full development and functional
"activity. On the other hand, these
"organs, which are essential to the we'll
"being Of the individual, must, when
diseased, exercise potent influence in
"dcranging the brain and nervous system"
These facts 60 to prove conclusively that
very large proportion Of the cases Of in
sanity in women could have been pre-.
vented by careful treatment Of diseased
ovaries. 1t is also very probable that
many cases Of insanity could be perfectly
cured by careful and systematic treatment
Of the diseased ovaries.
