rted nutrition, when
the mind has been long and deeply depressed, or when the insidious
progress of disease of the heart, liver, or other Important organs,
occurs in consequence of irregularities of living, then there is danger
of congestion of the uterus and a protracted and profuse menstrual flow,
which favors a decline.

The treatment of this form of menorrhagia does not differ from that
already suggested. The diet should be light and nourishing, and daily
exercise, such as walking, riding, change of air and scenery, all will
contribute to restoration. Especial attention should be directed to the
condition of the bowels and liver. If the latter be deranged, Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will be a most efficacious remedy.
When there is a diminution of vital force, resulting in impaired
nutrition and disorders of blood, an alterative is required which will
insensibly and gradually restore activity by removing the causes of
derangement. Impairment of nutrition is very frequently associated with
functional or organic disease of the liver, and curative measures
consist of the use of alteratives, friction baths, exercise, nutritive
diet, and diversion of the mind. Whenever innutrition depends upon
deprivation of the blood or torpor of any of the secretory organs, the
"Golden Medical Discovery" will prove to be an invaluable remedial
agent, for it is an alterative and at the same time a blood restorative.
If the bowels be costive small laxative doses of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets should be employed. The "Favorite Prescription" regulates the
menstrual function by toning up the tissues of the uterus and
restraining the escape of the menses from the orifices of the
blood-vessels. While the diet should be nourishing, consisting of wild
game, mutton, chicken, and wine, the patient ought not to debilitate the
stomach by the use of strong tea or coffee. The circulation of the blood
should be quickened by riding, walking, exposure to sunlight, and fresh
air. The patient ought to engage in some light occupation, in which the
mind will be constantly as well as agreeably employed, but not
overtaxed. By pursuing the course of treatment, invalids suffering from
menorrhagia may be permanently restored to health.

THE TURN OF LIFE.

(CESSATION OF THE MENSES.)

Menstruation commonly occurs at regular monthly intervals, during a
period of about thirty years. The time for its
