After describing many Of the diseases
TO which women are specially subject
the lecturer continued:
But thank Heaven there is an escape.
Fortunately there is a relief for women
even I'm their lowest physical condition.
Modern science and modern discovery
have worked for years on this problem
which is, in fact, the greatest problem or
life-namely. how to produce happiness
and It is a cause for gratitude thar these
efforts have been successful There are
many things which have been discovered
I.aIr .srpf their nhVEtCIl
troubles. and there is one discovery which
certainly cures / have known many
women who have been in the depths OF
physical bitterness, and who are now on
the heights of happiness. l have seen
them taken from a condition OF sickness
and misery, and know that they are to-
day healthy and happy. / also know
that the means by which they were re-
stored has been endorsed by the highest
authorities, medical and scientific, both
abroad and i'm America. 1t Is com
mended I'm the warmest terms by such
eminent men as Rev Or. Rankin and
Bishop Wilson, and by such reliable
women as Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller and
Mrs. Phelps. | myself have used it, and
cannot recommend 1t too highly. The
name of this discovery which has done
so much for womanhOOd Is Warner s
Safe Cure. and 1t can be secured 10y any
woman who feels the need of some re-
liable 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 purpose.
Her mission I'm life is to diffuse joy and
gladness. Her face becomes revela-
-, 90 TTooxan Hyhen wreathed I'm happi-
ness. but gives us a glimpse Of all that
is miserable when depressed by detection.
But. far too often her troubles arise from
her own making. Thoughtlessness, care
lessness, and neglect are too often re-
sponsible for the misery which she en-
dures. but fortunately, by exercising care
and availing herself Of the best dis
coveries of science, there is no reason
why she should remain I'm condition Of
unhappiness when there is certain relief
near at hand"
