My heart goes out to the woman who, Impressed with the necessity for looking well after her health, becomes the vietim of her own anxiety and of the medical theories advanced by her physicians The woman I mean is always goi ng to the doctor and is never well. She has a new trouble every day. and her family and friends think her diseases are imaginary. Now she has'a pain in her chest, which she is sure is pleurisy; again she will have a backache, that can be traced to nothing but kidney trouble. Another day her legs will ache and swell and so on.

Whoever knows such a poor, misunderstood sufferer will do her a good turn by calling her attention to Mrs. Finkham’s medicine. With all its magnificent record in the cure of these troubles, and the widespread knowledge of its efficiency, it is singular that any woman will permit herself to disregard it and waste her life in this way. Perhaps the greatest cruelty of all is for the immediate family to say she is not sick. I know a case of thig kind, and it is piti iful to see how the mother is mism deretood by her children and her husband. No doubt a good many things that appear real to her are imaginary; the doctor tells the family that it is nervousness and imzgination, and so they, without any intention of being unkind, ignore the complaints of suffering, thinking in this way she will gst over her troubles. It is hard, too, for the family; they are willing to do what they can, but they think her mind unbalanced on this subject.
