recently read paper before the We
mans League, of which she is an Of
ficer, on the subject of ''Woman's Great
est Troubles" After enumerating them
in order, and intelligently treating the
subjects of ''Unrequited Affection"
Lack of Appreciation" Loss Of
Friends" Poverty" etc, she continued:
but, unfortunately, the greatest trou
bic which ever comes into any woman's
life is loss Of health. Other troubles
can be overcome Time mellOws the
grief which lis so overwhelming at the
hour We close the eyes of our dying
relatives or friends. Poverty may be
banished and the lost home ana social
standing regained. Even unrequired af-
lection may be lived down, but broken
health blights the life. undermines the
spirit, destroys beauty, embitters the
nature, ruins the life and too often,
makes dea tn boon. A sick woman is
/ the sa&deSt wreck upon the shoals Of life.
She is not only miserable herself but
0ften brings greater misery to those
about her--the loving friends whose lives
are bound up in hers. WOman's great
est trouble is i'll healthr'
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 in their lowest. physical condition.
| Modern science and modern discovery
| have worked for years on this problem
which is, in fact, the grea test problem of
| life namely, how to 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 physical
| troubles. and there is one discovery
| which certainly cures. / have known
many women who have ben in the depths
of physical bitterness, and who are now
on the heights of happiness. | have
| seen tlrem 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 restored has been endorsed by the
lhighest authorities medical and scientific
both abroad and in America. 1t is COM
meRded in the warmest terms by such
eminent men as Rev. d. Rankin and
! Bishop Wilson. and by such reliable wo-
men as Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller and
| Mrs. Phelps. I myself, have used it,
and cannot recommend it too highly
| ne name OF UQlS discovery Which, mas
done so much for womanhood, is War
ner's Safe Cure, and it can be secured
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
TAR more than man but there is no rea-
son why she should he compelled to dc
So She may be able to endure pain,
! but she was not created for that pJrP-
pose. Her mfstion in life is to diffuse
| JOY and gladness. Her face becomes
revelation Of heaven when wreathed
in happiness, but gives us a glimpse OF
all that is miserable when depressed by
dejec14on. But, far too often, her trou-
bles arise from her own making,
| Tyhroughtlessness, carelessness ana neg
lect are too often responsible for the mis-
cry which She endures, but fortunately, by
exercising care and awaiting herself of
the best discoveries of science, there is
no reason why she should remain in a
condition of unhappiness when there is
| certain re. 4ef near at hand"
