woman is on the straight road to the grave.
Women are notoriously negligent in mat
ters pertaining to their health Too many
of them understand too little about their
own physical makeup. They do not uu-
derstand their possibilities or their linita-
tions, and they do not know enough about
themselves to know when a symptom 10
really serious and when It is not. This nat
urally makes them overlook the plainest
Of danger signals. The start Of everything
Is simple. The start Of so-called - female
complaints may be a very slight thing in

some small hygienic measures would stop
the trouble. Certainly at this time little
bit Of tue right medicine would stop it.
