Mrs. Morgan J. Willard of New York
recently read paper before the Wo-
mans League, of which she is an Off
Ger, on the subject of "Woman's Great
est Troubles" After enumerating them
in order, and intenigently treating the
subjects of "Unrequited Affection, -
Lack of Appreciation" Loss of
Friends - Poverty" etc, she contin-
ued:
But, unfortunately, the greatest
trouble which ever comes into any wo-
mans life is the loss Of health. Other
troubles can be overcome. Time mel
lows the grief which is so overwhelTn-
ing at the hour we close the eyes of our
dying relatives or friends. Poverty
may be banished and the lost home and
social standing regained. Even unre-
Quilted affection may be lived down,
but broken health blights the life. I'M
dermines the spirit, destroys beauty,
embitters the nature, ruins the life and,
too often, makes death a boon. A sick
" woman is the saddest wreck upon
the shoals of life. She is not only mis-
cradle herself but often brings greater
misery to those about her-the loving
friends whose lives are bound up in
hers. Womanis greatest trouble is i'll
healthl"
After describing many of the diseases
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 modern
discovery has worked for years on this
problem, which is. in fact. the greatest
problem of life namely, how to produce
happiness, and it is a cause for graft
tude that these efforts have been sue
cessful. There are many things which
have been discovered which may help
women in their physical troubles, and
there is one discovery which certainly
cures. I have known many women who
have been in the depth of physical bit
terness, and who are now on the
heights of happiness. 1 have seen them
taken from condition OF sickness and
misery. and know that they are to-
day healthy and happy. L also know

nended in the Warmest terms by such
eminent men as Rev. DR.. Rankin and
Bishop Wilson, and by such reliable
women as Mrs Annie Jenness Miller
and Mrs Phelps myself, have used
it. and cannot recommend it too high
". The name of this discovery which
has done so much for WOmanhOOd, is
Warmers Safe Cure, and it can be Sc
cured by any woman 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 DUR
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 too often, her trOu-
bles arise from her own making
"Reminiscences. carelessness and neg
1ect are too often responsible for the
misery which she endureS, but fort
unately, by exercising care and avail
ing herself of the best dicoveries of sci
enCe. there is no reason why she
should remain in a condition of unhap-
piuess when there is certain relief near
at hand"
