WOMEN NOT
This Statement Has Been Unjustly Made, Because
Modest Women Evade Questions Asked By
Male Physicians.
llllrTjZFa rmenA!rs. fiaLeeM
An eminent physician says that
"Women aro not truthful; tlvy will lie
to their physician." This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this Is only in re
gard to those painful and troub'lesoi.lo
disorders peeuliur to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is espeeiully the case With un
married wo.iaen.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
ail to cure female diseases when they
cannot pet the proper information to
work on '
This is tho reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now corre
sponding with Mrs. l'inkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that .he really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
If you suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. l'inkham, Lynn, Mass., and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
l'inkham, 'is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol
lowing aro constantly pouring in

been lost.
"Is that all?" said the wife, looking
with disgust at her very much dis

been rummaging. "Why didn't you aak
ine?" and going to a picture on. the
wall Bhe pulled tho policy from be

EXPERIENCE SPOKE FCR HIM
Bay Rerrcmbered Recent L'sn to
Which Nose H.-.d Qoen Put.
When Horace started to sciitxd he
had a cold. It bad been with him
most nil winter, consequently ho had
come to regard his 110.0 us the very
keystone of his existence. Ho wu
still doing some pretty tall snlfflinr
when cailod up for his first recitation.
The lesson with which he was In
troduced to the life studious der.lt
with that complex and Incompre
hensible subject, "Hoy." The teach
er, being a woman possessed of an
analytical mind, believed In getting
right down to first principles, eh?
not only taught the component parte,
of the word "boy,", but bewildered
Horace with sundry questions con
cerning the boy himself. She tweaked
Horace's ears, gouged h's eyes and
made sportive jabs at hia lins and
mouth, Inquiring the while what the
vnrlous organs indicated -were called
and what were their functions.
Horace, In spite of his nervousness,
acquitted himself creditably, and he
would probably have got off with "A
plus" If the teacher hud let his nose
alone.. Unfortunately she attacked the
offending proboscis nnd asked:
"And what Is this called?"
"By dose," gasped Horace, thickly.
"And whnt Is it for?" she persisted.
And Horace, Imbued with an hon
esty born of Innocence nnd long suf
fering, straightway responded:
"To blow."

FROM THE PRIMITIVE LIFE.
Scientist 8u(igett Origin of Man'i
General Rlght-Handedness.
N. Dlshop Harman reviews a num
ber of morphological facts In relation
to visceral assymmetry In human bo
Ings, eay the Medical Record. He
then advances a hypothesis as to the
presence of a general right-handed
ness In nun. He sugsestg an incident
In tho Hie of primitive man In which
two of these beings have a hnnd-to-hnnd
conflict. One learns the secret
of division of labor In tho forelimbe
and uses his left arm for a shield and
his right for fighting. He Is tho vie
tor In the fight and Ms offspring, af
ter ho has raptured the wire of the
victim, would revert to the material
custom of using the left hand. The
writer then cites various examples to
prove the real ambidexterity of ordin
arlly trained men.
Most men brush the hair with a
pair of brushes, using each hand
cpially and roincidrntly In the task
Women plait the hair, using both
hands; they also hold the hand-glass,
first with one hand, then with the
other, while adjusting plaits, coil?
and pins with the free hand. The
process shows extraordinary bimanual
dexterity, with hnnd and eye cerebra
tion. Violin ploying Illustrates In a
most remarkably way tho diversion of
labor between the fore-limbs. The
use of the typewriter and the Inscrip
tion of tho Uraillo type by the blind
all show a wonderful bimanual di
vision of labor.

so niueh complaint aiming consumers
at Ibis time were attributable wholly
to thenc? abnormal entile prices."
All the IK'invs of the live weight n!:rt
live cost of all dressed beef cal tie were
obtained from actual killing reeird.-.
and all Information of every kind ob
tained by the Commissioner was volun
tarily and freely offered by the pack
ers, all books of record and papers
cimiu'ctod wilb tho business having
be"ii placed at his disposal.
To make certain that the results ot
the investigation should be absolutely
accurate, the Commissioner stales that
a double method of ascertaining profits
was adopted, and. without going into
detail here. It Is found that the conclu
sion arrived at shows an average profit
of W cents per head. The Commis
sioner says "the close parallebsin in
the results of the two methods of as
certaining the profits confirms com
pletely the correctness of the general
conclusions." It Is clearly established
that "Western packers do not control
more than half of the beef supply of
the United States," tlio conclusion of
the Commissioner being that the busi
ness done by them nmounts to "about
4." per cent." of the total slaughter of
the country.
The whole report Is extremely Inter
esting and well worthy of careful pe
rusal. As an official report it may be
regarded as worlby of eonlldeuee, nnd
it certainly leads the render to the
conclusion arrived at by the Commis
sioner when he stales Hint "tho capl
talizjition of nunc oi' these concerns is
excessive as compared with lt.'i aelnal
Investment," and that from thorough
and right examination of original en
tries in books and papers to which ho
hud access there was also "Indirect evi
dence that the profits of the packers;
in their beef business aro less thun Is
frequently supposed," 11s nhown by
comparison between the total fronts
and tho total amount of sales.
