g
impression made upon the nervous system, by producing such a remarkable
change in the life of the woman, was even worse than the disease itself.

=Results of Removal of Ovaries.=--Women who have had their ovaries removed
are frequently the victims of hysteria, melancholia, extreme nervous
prostration, insomnia, and other distressing and dangerous complaints.

=Surgical Operations Unnecessary.=--Then, again, it is becoming well known
