WHY WOMEN SHOULD coNFIDE
IN A MAN.
It is much easier for a woman to con-
fde in the average man than IN the
average woman. She knows that the
man will respect her condolences and
keep them TO himself. He is strong, has
more experience of the world ard can
help the woman who needs advice.
Without a perfect medical understanding
there can be no helpful advise, women
should not trust their delicate constitu-
tions in the hands of uuskilled persons
1t requires thorough medical education
to appreciate and understand the WON
