Why can a weak framed, understood
man go through life without fainting.
when a splendid woman. a Diana for
beauty and courage, must know the
humiliation of this sudden lapse Of
consciousness? There is
A SCARLET CLUE
to follow which will bring us safely
out from the labyrinth of discussion
There are certain times when a wom-
an is more liable to faint than she is
at other times. And those times will
be found to he the times when the
womanly nature and functions are most
dominant. The conclusion is irresis-
tible. AS general proposition a wO-
man faints because the delicate organs
by which she is differentiated from
brother or husband are affected by dis
ease. Woman is creations MASTER
piece, the last and fairest work of the
Creator. To her are given joys and
sorrow which no man may know and
no man can share. To her also is Civ
ven capacity for suffering beyond the
knowledge of men. The great ques-
tion is: To what extent is this suffer
ing necessary Has woman been made
so finely only that she may know the
refinement of suffering? The very
thought is an outrage on Nature. The
new woman" will know nothing Of
the suffering of the woman of the past
She will run and not be weary" She
will walk and not faint" Let her
put away at once and forever the
thought that she is under Natures
I,x
cause she is a woman. Let her rele-
gate that superstitution to the limbo
where all the old superstitions that
left her a slave have long been rele-
gated. Let her believe that there is a
way to sound physical health which
those that seek will surely find.
THE RIGHT WAY
to escape the physical bondage of weak
ness is to follow the guidance of other
women who have found a way of es-
cape from the sufferings 50 long es-
teemed inseparabe from the feminine
nature.
