Mrs.. Helen Stafford of San Fran
cisco will deliver a free private lectur,
to ladies', Monday, 2 p. NJ. at G. A. r.
hall-subject, Curative Physical Cul
tnre." Every lady and girl in tow,
should consider it a privilege to lister
n this gifted lady, who is considered
: the most able and instructive lecturer
IN the human body. Mrs. Stafford
comes highly recommended by the
matrons of o. E. S., Rebakahs of l. o
q. F., Relief Corps of G. A. R., and
prominent ladies. gentlemen, fathers
and mothers all over the country
wherever she has been. The lecture be-
gins promptly at o'clock.
The Santa Cruz Surf has the follow.
ing to say concerning Mrs. Stafford:
MRS. Stafford comes to Santa Cruz
with testimonials and record of cures
performed and knowledge impaired
that give confidence in her skill and
mower, but, more than all, q talk with
the lady, who is herself an exponent of
what she teaches, convinces the seeker
after newer and better ways Of living
that this beautiful and healthful wom-
an has by her researches and expert
ence evolved a mode of treatment for
the i'll, of living for the well, which
shall confer upon them and continue
Indefinitely that boon of health for
which the miser would sacrifice his
gold, and which is the greatest bless
ing of the poor, of the wage-earner and
of the over-worked mother and wife
everywhere. q
Left herself, without abundant re-
source and with impaired health and
strength, Mrs. Stafford set herself to
study what was best to be done, best
for her to do. She went to the dissect-
ing-rOom, under the teaching of prac-
ticed physician, and there learned the
sad story of what a system of false liv-
ing. does the body. The effects of the
corset upon women and mothers, of
wrong food and drink, Of drugs, of the
knife of the surgeon, of lack of proper
exercise and air, revealed themselves
to her in the degradation of the It's
sues, the bone, the muscles and all the
organs of the unfortunate ones who
came under the knife in these studies.
So, Mrs. Stafford reasoned, there
must be something radically wrong in
our method of living. Step by step
with her own person as the expert
mental subject, this woman learned
the deep lessons of life, and regained
for herself mental and physical vigor,
strength, health and happiness. That
she should take as her life work the
imparting of this beneficent knowl-
edge to her sister women, many of
whom suffer even more than she did,
was natural sequence. She has
evolved system of scientific curative
and preventive physical exercises
which touch and bring into action
every muscle in the body; bath to be
taken hygienically; proper food to
build up tissues, and all this without
resort to materia medica or to the
knife
Mrs. Staffords testimonials are al
most numberless and include cases of
the. most advanced types of diseases
which she has conquered hy this en-
liGhtened and natural method. Mrs.
Stafford contends that if eaeh.>gener-
alton Of humanity would take proper
cate Of its own by this system of .physi-
cal:culture there need be no such thing
as1llness In the land. 3nb ses"l|
