some overlooked derangement, or disease, of the womb. For, as we have
already intimated, every organ of the system is in _intimate_ sympathy
with the uterus, or womb. Any disease, either functional or organic, of
this organ, is at once manifest through several, if not all, the
sympathizing organs of the system. When we receive a sharp blow upon the
elbow, the pain is felt most keenly in our little finger. Just so in
diseases of the womb; often the most distress is felt in organs or parts
of the system quite distant from the real seat of disease. On this
account, thoughtless, easy-going and ignorant physicians are misled, and
very commonly mistake the invalid's disease for some affection of the
stomach, heart, liver, kidneys, or other organ, when really it is
located in the uterus. Cure the disease of the womb, and all these
disagreeable manifestations, or symptoms, vanish. Their cause being
removed, the various dependent derangements, and disagreeable nervous
sensations and sufferings rapidly give way, and vigorous health is
firmly re-established.

TIME AND PERSEVERANCE IN TREATMENT REQUIRED TO CURE. Most chronic
diseases of women are slow in their inception, or development, and their
removal or cure must necessarily be gradual. Disease that has been
progressing and becoming more firmly established for months, or perhaps
years, cannot, except in rare cases, be hastily dislodged, and the
system restored to perfect health. The process of cure, like the
development and progress of the disease, must be a gradual one,
accomplished step by step. Often, too, the use of medicines that, if
_persisted_ in, will prove beneficial and curative, will, for a
considerable time, arouse in the system very disagreeable sensations,
and many times this leads unthinking persons to become frightened or
discouraged, and to quit the treatment best adapted to their cases if
only faithfully carried out. In many forms of womb disease, their are
organic lesions or changes, that can be repaired only by a gradual
process, just as an external wound would heal,--not suddenly, but by a
constant, slow filling in and building up, or by the gradual development
or growth of one cell upon another. Just as a great breach in a wall
would be repaired by filling in brick upon brick, until the defect is
effaced, so must these lesion's be removed by gradual processes. When
fully repaired, the dependent, sympathetic derangements, disagreeable
sensations, a
