Not very long ago. a popular magazine published an editorial article in which the writer asserted, in substance, that all disease should be regarded as criminal. Certain it is, that much of the sickness and suffering of mankind is due to the violation of certain of Natures laws. But to say that all sickness should be regarded as criminal, must appeal to every reasonable individual as radically wrong.
 It would be harsh, unsympathetic, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, over worked housewife who sinks under the heavy load of household cares and burdens, and suffers from weak nesses, various displacements of pelvic organs and other Arrangements peculiar to her sex.
 Freouent bearing of children, with it's ex- acting demands upon the system. coupled with the care. worry and labor of rearing large family. is often the cause of weak nesses, derangements and debility which are aggravated by the many household cares. and the hard. and never-ending work which the mother is called upon to perform. Dr. Pierce. the maker of that world-famed rem edy for woman's peculiar weaknesses and ills-Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription-say that one of the greatest obstacles to the cure of this class of maladies Is the fact that the poor over-worked housewife can not get the needed rest from her many household cares and labor 70 enable her to secure from the use of his Prescription its full benefits It is matter of frequent experience. he says. in his extensive practice in these cases. to meet with those in which his treatment fails by reason of the patients inability to abstain from hard work long enough to be cured.
