Mrs. Morgan j. willard, or New
York. recently read a paper before
the Woman's League, of which she is
an officer on the subject of woman
Greatest Troubles" After enumerat-
ing them in order and .ntelligently
treating the subjects of "Unrequited
Affection" Lack of Appreciation"
Loss of Friends" Poverty" etc.
she continued:
But, unfortunately the greatest
trouble which ever comes into any
Woman's life is loss of health. Oti,er
troubles can he overcome. Time mel
lCws the grief which is 50 overwhelm-
ing at the. hour we close the eyes of
our dying relatives or friends. Pow
erty may be banished and the lost
home and social standing regained.
Even unrequited affection may be
lived down, but broken health blights
the life. undermines the spirit, de-
stroys beauty, embitters the nature,
ruins the life and. too often makes
death a boon. A sickly woman is the
saddest wreck upon the shoals Of life.
She is not only miserable herself but
often brings greater misery to those
| about her-the loving friends whose
lives are bound up in hers. Woman's
greatest lTOuDle Is Ill nedltn.
After describing many of the dis
eases to which women are specially
subject, the lecturer continued:
But thank Heaven there is an es-
cape. Fortunately there is a relief for
women even in their lowest physical
condition. Modern science and mod
ern discovery have worked for years
on this problem which is, in fact the
|
tC produce happiness. and it is a cause
for gratitude that these efforts have
been successful. There are many
| things which have been discovered
| which may help women in their phys
| ical troubles. and there is one discov-
cry which certainly cures. | have

in the depths of physical bitterness.

| cry. and know that they are today
| healthy and happy. | also know that

abroad and in America. 1t is COM

it., and cannot recommend it too high
ly. The name of this discovery which

| Warmers Safe Cure. and it can be Sc
cured by any women who feels the
need of some reliable friend upon whom
| she can depend"
In conclusion Mrs Willard said:
| Woman is able to endure suffering
far more than man but there is no rea-
| son why she should be compelled to
do so. She may be able to endure pain,
| but she was not created for that pur-
pose. Her mission in life is to diffuse
joy and gladness. Her face becomes a
| revelation of heaven when wreathed in
happiness, but gives us a glimpse OF
all that is miserable when depressed by
detection. But. far to often, her
troubles arise from her own making.
Thcughtlessness, carelessness and ne
glect are too often responsible for the
misery which she endures. but for
tunately, by exercising care and avail
ing herself of the best discoveries of
science, there is no reason why she
should remain in a condition of un-
happiness when there is certain relief
near at hand"
