A SUFFERING WIFE,

A man can rarely enter into a woman's
sufferings when they are caused by dis
eases peculiarly feminine. Even when
the character of the suffering is graphi-
caHy described the man cannot appre-
ciate the force of terms for which he has
no equivalent in his experience. All he
can do is to sympathize and suggest.
But when a woman hears the story Of
a woman's suffering every word has its
Just weight with her. Even more, she
