SUFFERING in SILENCE.

Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands Oh thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to womankind In the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
mouths, years. The story of weakness
and torture is written In the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, III the list
less eyes, In the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Inborn 1nodesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope of
relief lies in the exposure of examina-
ton and "1oca1 treatment.
Take ten cases of "fema1e weakness"
and in nine of them '1ocal treatment"
is unnecessary, There Is no reason why
modest, sensitive women should sub
