critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near Is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestiol of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense Of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread Of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed BY intelligent
women who are approaching the
period ii life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be Needed in time.
