f, it usually
accompanies every uterine disorder which vitiates and reduces the
system. During childhood, particularly in scrofulous children,
discharges from the vagina are not unfrequent, owing to worms or other
intestinal irritation.

Among the organic causes of leucorrhea, are ulceration of the mouth or
neck of the womb and tumors. These will be considered hereafter.

TREATMENT. We have dwelt upon leucorrhea because of its prevalence and
in order to exhibit the various forms it may assume. These reasons long
ago prompted us to investigate it; and, ascertaining the derangement to
consist in a relaxation of the walls of the vagina, attendant upon
depressed vitality, for many years we experimented with various
medicines to find those that would exercise specific properties in
restoring the tissues involved to a natural condition, thereby arresting
the abnormal discharge. Our efforts in that direction have been very
successful, and our expectations more than realized. The treatment which
we shall recommend is rational, based upon the pathological conditions
of the disease, and has been attended with the greatest success.

It embraces the use of those general restoratives and specific uterine
tonics, so harmoniously combined in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
a remedy which has achieved unparalleled success in the cure of this
affection and won the highest praise from thousands of grateful women.
It many cases, it is well to accompany its use with alterative
treatment, for which the "Golden Medical Discovery" will be found
especially effective. It is an absurd practice to arrest the discharge
with astringent injections _alone_. The weak and lax walls of the
vagina, as well as the other tissues of the system, require strength,
and this can be gained only by the use of general and special tonics.
Appropriate injections as _auxiliary_ treatment will very much _assist_
in the cure. The "Favorite Prescription" is a special tonic for the
affected parts, and the "Golden Medical Discovery" is the best general
alterative of which we have any knowledge. They may be taken in
alternate doses every day. If the patient is very pale and anaemic, one
drachm of the carbonate, or two drachms of the citrate or pyrophosphate
of iron, may be advantageously added to each bottle of the "Favorite
Prescription." If the carbonate be employed, as it is insoluble, the
bottle should be well shaken every time before using. The functions of
