WOMAN’S HEALTH.
IT is a lamesiable fact, that from causes not
. generally understood, firaalo Buffering ap-pe
»rs to be on the increase. The sweet young
girl j .st. ontering into womanhood soon bo-comes
pale, feeble, emaciated, lifeless, with
headaches, pains and aches, loss of appetite,
palpitation of the heart, cold feet and hands,
and appears to loose that youthful vim and
sprigutliness so much adepired. The middle-
•ig-ii ro Uriel lady is no less exempt from
8 .ne troublesome annoyance. She contm-
" 'ily gruuting and fretting with pains and
lies, her s.cretions are all impaired, her en-gies
are lost, she forces herself in into so-oiety,
she “ spurs ” on almost everybody,
her heiflth slowly declines until she becomes
i mere drone in her own household. And
she at the “ 'urn of life ” is no stranger to
suffering peculiar to her stx at that age.
Habits, c»imate asd inattention surely bring
