Is Disease a Crime /?

Not very long ago, 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.
1t would Ia 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.
Frequent bearing Of children. with its ex-
acting demands upon the system. coupled
with the care. worry ana labor OF rearing q
large family, Is often the cause of weak
nesses. arrangements and debility which arc
aggravated by the many household cares.
and the hard. and never-ending work which
the mother is called upon to perform. DR..

that one of the greatest obstacles to the cure
OF this class of maladieS Is the fact that tho

other displacement OF the womanly organs.
1t is very necessary that. in addition to talk

from being very much. or for long periods. on
their feet. ALI heavy lifting or straining of
any kind should also be avoided. AS much
