WOMEN AND MEDICINE

In Europe, years ago, woman named
Hildegarde wrote a notable book on
medicinal plants. In those days the men
were too busy bOthering about dogmas Of
religion and MEDICINE, and the study Of
herbs was thought beneath their notice.
1t was the women, however, who mostly
conducted the hospitals and cared for the
sick, and thus they learned much OF

Just the moment you apply MenthO-
sulphur to an itching. burning or broken

sulphur preparation, made into pleasant
cold cream, gives such quick relief, even
to fiery eczema, that nothing has ever
been found TO take It's place.
Because of its germ destroying prop

Marriage a la Mode

With fiappers and grandmothers
dressing alike these days it is
hard to distinguish the maid from
the matron.
In Oriental countries there is
no such difficulty because the
dress of married and unmarried
women is different
In Japan there are some colors
a girl may wear which she must
reInquish forever when she mar
ries.
Also. she is then able to wear
others denied her as a girl.
