WOMEN AT TRIALS.
WHY LADIES FLOCK TO COURT.
A CLEAR DEFINITION OP THE CAUSES WHICH MAKE WOMEN SO SUSCEPTIBLE TO EMOTION.
The Now York " Sun" has an able editorial in which it seeks to show why some women love to attend sensational or murder trials. It says : —"Women are not stirred at all by many of the occurrences which agitate men, but when a case involving life and death comes up—a tragic case—and more especially when it has about it a mystery in which a woman is concerned, and a woman of the more refined society, they follow its course with an intensity of interest greater than men feel. It is akin to the fascination which a fictitious tragedy on the stage has for women and for women more than men. It is a luxury for many good women to have their tenderest feelings of sympathy aroused. They enjoy going to funerals, and wiping away tears shed in unison with those of sorrowing relative I *. The plays that wring the heart are more attractive for them than the comedies which provoke merriment. They delight in having thenfeelings aroused to the highest pitch." This ia all undoubtedly true, but there ia a cause far back of all this. It is a cause which has its origin in the life and condition of the women themsevea. Most women are weak, and not in good health. When a woman ia sickly, her feelings are quickly aroused and she suffers keenly. This is the real actual cause of it all. Women should not suffer. They are designed by nature for happiness, not misery. And yet too often it is continual Buffering when there is a certain relief. Read the experience of a Hamilton lady— _ Mrs. Mary Ann Austin says :—I or twenty years I was a sufferer from a complicated and serious affection of the kidneys and liver. I have had medical attendance from doctors in Melbourne and also in the country, and have taken all kinds of medicines many of which contained mercury, which have destroyed my teeth and in other way? injured my system. The doctors wanted me to undergo an operation, but I would not, knowing full well I should never recover from it. So I suffered on from year to year, not one of them doing me any good. My constitution was shattered. My urine contained a large percentage of albumen and sediment, whilst down my back and left side the pains were almost unbearable. Soon after coming to Hamilton my husband got one of Messrs Warner and Co's pamphlets, and, after reading several testimonials from prominent men and women who had received good from Warner's Safe Cure, he advised me to try it. Before I had taken many bottles 1 felt a decided change for the better. 1 continued its use, and was pleased to notice that I was growing stronger and atronger every day. lam now able to attend to my household duties and enjoy life. lam fully convinced that but for Warner's Safe Cure I should be in my Is this an isolated experience f xJy no means! It i& precisely what hundreds of other ladies have found true in their experience. P, shows that if womec continue to suffer, if the trials of life weigh them down when t;,ey sh.nild be joyful, they have themselves only to blame. There is a means of relief, of restoration. It is pure, it is safe, it is a woman's best friend. By its use she can be enabled to withstand the ills of life, and secure both health and happiness.
