Modesty Is the crowning virtue of American women It Is the trait
that all mankind admires A modest woman is the most pleasing of all
created things Because of this becoming virtue thousands of women
prefer to suffer untold miseries rather than confide their troubles to a
physician and to even think of submitting to an examination is revolt

permits sensitive women to retain their modesty With it they can cure
female troubles in the quiet of their own rooms If special treatment
Is required they can write to the Advisory Department of the Chatta
