THE ENFRANCHISEMENT OF WOMAN.

The leaders in office all over the world, and especially in this continent, are proposing that woman, or at least some of her, should have the suffrage extended to her. Very well then. This action is partly the inevitable answer that must be made to the voice of the people, especially as election times are approaching, and partly an attempt to bolster up the iniquitous system of plural voting which has received such a death blow from the recent accession of worker’s representatives to Australian Parliaments Whether or not the departure will prove productive of good or ill, whether the enfranchised woman will neglect her house duties and vote for the ornamental candidate with the curly golden beard to the exclusion of the rugged Hampden, or the patriot with odd eyes, is a matter that rests in the womb of the future. Woman’s political enfranchisement by the march of progress may be an unmixed blessing or an undoubted curse. Woman’s disenfranchisement from disease by the sterling virtues of Warner’s safe cure can be nothing but a heaven-sent boon. The great number of complaints from which our mothers, the past builders of the world, and our wives and sisters, who are to be the mothers of the next generation suffer, vanish before the conquering remedies of H. H. Warner & Co. Muscular weakness, tumors, abscesses, and all the nameless ills known generally as female complaints are evidences of blood corruption, caused by the duties of maternity, or the errors of dress, diet, and habits. It is the special duty of the kidneys to keep the blood pure and capable of doing its work, and when this function is impaired only Warner’s safe cure can restore it. Patients may reasonably expect great results from the use of one or two bottles, but four or six bottles are necessary in some cases to produce permanent results. But the results are so thorough that not one of the thousands of Australian women thus restored to the enjoyment of health would regret the use of even ten times the quantity mentioned of the famous safe cure were such a quantity necessary.
