Dr. GEISSNER'S Celebrated Menatrual Pilla have been long and widely known as invari ably certain in removing any stoppage, irreg ularity, or suppression ol the menses. In the female hospitals in Vienna, Paris, and Berlin, they have entirely superseded the use of all other remedies; because, where a cure is attainable by medicinal agencies, they are certain of success. Their astonish ing efficacy would be almost incredible, if not vouched for by indubitable testimony, in numerous instances producing returns of the monthly period after all hope had been aban doned. In every case, from whatever cause the ob struction may arise, as also to prevent preg nancy where the health will net admit ol in crease of family, they are always efficient; for which reason they must not be used du ring pregnancy, though always mild, healthy, safe and certain in their effects.

WARNING TO EVERY SENSIBLE WOMAN. WHY FEMALES SIWI* IN HEALTH. Wo woman of delicacy ia willing to dlacloee the peetv Liar ailments Incident to her sex, evon to a moat intimate family physician. This modeety and delicacy le implanted by nature, and neither ahoaU nor need be subjected to the rude shocks inevitable in making known to the other BOX those ailment* belonging exclusively to the female. Kxoept In extreme cases, her aensltivoueas will sacri fice her health rather than her delicacy. The consequence* are serious, lamentable, and liftv long. Thus what at firat could have been easily remedied, or perhaps better still, not incurred, becomes a compli cation or diseases, not only ruining the health of the mother, and embittering her days by aicknee* and suf fering, but entailing broken constitutions upon her children, and oinbarraeeing, if not distressing, the busi ness and pecuniary prospects of the husband. Let every sensible woman TAKE WARNING IN TIME, (ha thousands have done) by tho bitter experience and sulforiugs of others, of the dreadful cotiaeauenoea she entails upon herself and those eadeared to her, by her Ignorance of the nlmploft and plainest rulea of health as connected with the marriage state, the violation of which entails disease, suffering, and misery. How many are snflerlng from obstructions or irregu larities peculiar to the female system, which undermlno the health, the effects of whicfi they aro ignorant, and fbr which their delloacy forbids seeking medical ad vice I How many suffer from prolapeue uteri (falling of the womb), or from JUmr at/nu (weakness, debility, fcc.)l How many are in constant agony for many months pre ceding confinement I How many have difficult, If not dangerous deliveries, and slow and uncertain recoveries! To ?be question, how ore these to be prevented? what shall he done ? the answer is simple. Let event woman ascertain for herself, without vio lence to her delicacy, the naturo and character of the ailment (to whlc h sbo as a female is subjeot). the causes from which It may arise, and the proper remedies for its cure and future pvevontion. .... , This sho can do by possessing a littlo volume (already possessed by thousands), WBICH TELLS EVERY Tf'OMAN WHAT IS THE MATTER, AND TELLS HER WHAT TO DO FOR IT , In simple hut chaste words, and such as ahe oan understand. ; This little volume is entitled THE MARRIED WOMAN'S PRIVATE MEDICAL COMPANION, BY DR A M.

Extract qf a tetter from a gentleman in Dayton, Ohio. Dayton, May 1,1847. Dr. X- M.

At this time (now about two months), I heard your book highly spoken of, as con talnlng some matters reaching my case. On its receipt and perusal, I cannot express to you the relief It afforded my distressed ndnd, and tho joy its pages imparted to my wife, on learning that the great discovery of M. M.

No pecu niary consideration can ever repay the obligations I am under to you, for having been tlie means of imparting to ns tho matters contained in "The Married Woman's Private Medical Companion."
