e that displacements of the womb may be associated with
inflammation and ulcers, which require local treatment, as elsewhere
suggested; but simple displacement of the uterus may be remedied by
pursuing the following course of sanitary and medical treatment. Sleep
on a hard bed, rise early, bathe, and take a short walk before
breakfast. Dress the body warmly and allow sufficient space for the easy
and full expansion of the lungs. Eat moderately three meals a day, of
those articles which are nutritious and readily digested. Keep the
bowels regular by the use of proper food. If they are constipated, use
Dr. Pierce's Pellets to keep them open and regular. Avoid retaining the
standing position too long at a time, especially when the symptoms are
aggravated by it. Many energetic women disregard their increasing pains,
and keep upon their feet as long as possible. Such a course is extremely
injurious and should be avoided.

As a general restorative and uterine tonic, nothing surpasses Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which is sold by druggists and
accompanied with full directions for use. If leucorrhea is an attendant
symptom, the treatment suggested for that condition should be employed.
The use of Dr. Pierce's Antiseptic and Healing Suppositories, applying
one every third night After having first cleansed the vagina and neck of
the womb thoroughly by the use of warm water and soap as an injection,
will prove of great benefit in giving strength to the supports of the
womb and its appendages.

By persevering in the rational treatment which we have suggested for the
various displacements of the womb, nearly all who suffer from such
derangements may be fully restored to health. The patient should not
expect _speedy_ relief. Considerable time will be necessary to bring the
general system up to a perfect standard of health, and, until this is
accomplished, no great improvement in the distressing symptoms can be
expected. Mechanical movements are especially effective in this class of
cases. We have successfully treated many obstinate cases in which the
displacements were very serious.

ULCERATION OF THE UTERUS.

Ulceration is the process by which ulcers, or sores, are produced. It is
characterized by the secretion of pus or some fetid discharge, and is
continued as a local disease through the opera
