VII S The Successful Introduction AS of a really meritorious remedy is immediately followed by Pepto-Mangan ("Gude") which is the original and only true organic preparation of iron and manganese, and the source and foundation of all the exceptional and positive therapeutic merit experienced in this product. Imitations with similar sounding names, but dissimilar in every other respect, are mischievous enough, but in nefariousness are yet unequal to substitution and the substitutor, against whom the physician's only assurance is an original bottle. GUDE'S PEPTO-MANGAN has, since its introduction to the Medical Profession of the World, always proved its superiority over other blood-making compounds, and furthermore will always substantiate all the statements so highly commending its value. As this certainty in efficacy has won for this preparation the confidence and reliance of the physician, we, to protect you, your patients and ourselves against such conscienceless methods, earnestly ask the prescribing of original bottles only. This request, though seemingly of little importance, will be significant in view of the astounding knowledge that 75% of the manufacturers are not only offering but selling gallons and kegs of so called "Just as Good" iron mixtures, which have not undergone and dare not undergo either the scrutiny of the physician or examination by the chemist. While there is only one Pepto-Mangan which is never supplied in any form of package other than our you will readily surmise the intent of these imitation preparations which are wholly unknown to the Medical Profession, and agree with us in the importance of the above request. Any one offering Pepto-Mangan in bulk form, either intentionally or unintentionally practises substitution; hence our solicitation for your co-operation against this harmful, unjustifiable, and inexcusable fraud.

HOW TO ASSIST YOUNG GIRLS TO WOMANHOOD. BY EDWARD C. HILL, M. D., DENVER, COLO. Normal menstruation in temperate climates generally begins in the fifteenth year. In the tropics it appears much earlier, so that in Mexico one may see a grandmother of only twenty years. Within the Artic Circle Eskimo girls do not generally arrive at puberty until the eighteenth year. City girls usually have the menstrual flow earlier than do hard working country girls, in whom muscular exercise has the same derivative effect on the pelvic blood supply as too intense devotion to study. The time, amount and character of the menstrual flow vary normally within wide limits. The menstrual cycle for different individuals ranges in perfect health from two to six weeks. The average duration in the temperate zone is about four days. Soaking more than three napkins daily is considered abnormal. Anemic girls, as a rule, tend to menorrhagia; chlorotic ones, to scanty menstruation. Clots are present when the amount of blood is great, or the mucus and fatty acids scanty. A periodic white menstruation, from supersecretion of the uterine glands, is not infrequently noticed in the intervals midway of menstruation. Menstruation is or should be a perfectly physiologic process. In the virgin disorders of menstruation of whatever nature are nearly always dependant upon the defective nutrition of the reproductive organs, and this in turn upon a blood supply insufficient in quality or in quantity. In the great majority of cases, therefore, our efforts to aid nature in effecting the transformation of the girl into a woman, should be in the line of a happy balance of nutrition between the special female organs and the body as a whole. Hygenic measures are of the first importance. Fresh air and sunshine are always in order. Exercise is especially indicated for the fat and flabby chlorotic girl, and her diet should be restricted in sugars and starches. The highly active, intellectual girl must rest from her studies and try to become a little lazy. Proper precautions should be taken in regard to reasonable care of the person at the time of the monthly periods. Yet the physician should beware of unduly alarming his little patient, and so bringing about a condition of hypochondriacal valetudinarianism. Simple cleanliness is certain to do no harm, but good. The conservation of the general health and vigor is the chief factor in maintaining safe and easy menstruation. (Continued in next issue.) Naples, Texas, October 18, 1902.
