An Interesting Interview With Dr. Lucy M. Hall. [Copyrighted 1887.] New York, Dec. 31.—0f all the ghosts which, like Banquo’s, refuse to down, there is none which bobs up more serenely persis tent than the s](eetre of the idea that the health of the future mothers of the country is being ruined by the modern demands of education. Volleys of statistics have 110 appreciable effect upon the wraith, ghosts being, as is well-known, invulnerable to bullets and indifferent to figures. If the danger in this direction were any thing more than an imaginary one, the women physicians, whose practice lies almost entirely among women and among growing girls, would be the first to notice it and to cry out against it, ami it was with the view of getting a trustworthy medical opinion on the subject that I asked for a little information from Dr. Lucy M. Hall a few days ago. There is no trained observer in the country who has given more attention to the health conditions of women than Dr. Hull, who, as resident physician and Assistant Professor of Physiology at Vassal- College, was in a position to follow from day to day and from year to year the effects of continued mental effort on girl st udents, and whose experience, based on a comparison of private practice with college practice, is therefore, of especial value. Dr. Hall, whose home is in Brooklyn, is one of the best known and most successful women physicians of that city or of New York. She is not given to talking for publication, but feel - an especial interest in the topics on which I questioned her. The first query which I put was: "Have you found that the girl who wishes to study is, as a rule, physically injured by the*strain of the so-called higher education ?” Rules are hard to formulate, liecause every thing depends on the individual; but in general it is safe to say that the health of college girls averages better than that of girls out of school and without occupation. College woik is often a good physical tonic.” “How do you account for benefit to health from increased mental effort?” “On elementary principles. If one could give the same definite direction to the lives of young women witji which young men grow up, invalidism would be diminished among them one-half. Aimlessness and idleness—stagnation—result in physical as well as mental dege teration. Given a worthy aim, something to work for and to live for, and the strength to pursue it will often come of its own accord. The President of a college for women once told me that many girls were admitted to its classes in poor health, sometimes also mentally de pressed. Fairly started in their college life they improved rapidly in health and spirits. I have seen the same thing so often myself that it has come to seem a matter of course. A young girl is sent from home reluctantly, with many cautions to teachers and physician to regard her delicate physique. She gains in weight, she gains in strength, she is rosier as a sophomore than she was as a freshman,and she excites general attention as a fine healtliy-looking young woman by the time she arrives at the dignity of a senior. She has profited in mind and body by the blessed gospel of work.” “Do you mean that study is per se bee ficialr” “I mean that a definite interest in life of any worthy kind is beneficial. Here is a good illustration: The head of a large dry goods house gave me, at my request, com parative health statistics of the men and women in his employ. In a year’s time the number of excuses for absence on account of sickness offered by the women was nine times relatively the number given by the men. Many of the women lived at home and had not quite the sense of responsibility felt by a man with a family to support, so that the figures do not mean that the health of the women was one-ninth as good as that of the men. The proportion of absences among the women occasioned by illness sufficiently serious to have kept a man at home was as two to one. But here is the significant part of his statement; where the average woman lost two days to the male clerk's one, the exceptionally intelligent women who held responsible positions, were heads of departments and earned la ge salaries, enjoyed unsually good health, and lost less time by reason of illness than any man in his employ. Those were women with an object in life, living for something definite, ambitious women, if you ehoo.se to call them such, and, partly for that reason, well women. The head of the training school for nurses at Bellevue Hospital says that it is a general experience for the young women entering there to gain steadily in health. The work is hard, the nervous strain sometimes severe, and there is much study required; but the girls go there because they want a worthy occupation, and finding something which satisfies them in that respect, they are helped in other re spects, too. It is the same with college girls. Their course of study, their associations and surroundings change the whole current ot their lives, and for the better, not for the worse. The higher the grade of work done by women the fewer interruptions to health are likely to be found in consequence.” “How will the health of young women in school compare with t hat of young men j” “The records are very favorable to the girls. The tables of excuses for absence on account of illness for throe consecutive days and upwards which I kept at Vassal- for a year gave an average to each student of 1.70 davs. The corresponding tables at Amherst gave 2.65 days to each of the young men there. The Vassal- tables for the last school year are not yet complete, hilt they show results equally good. Smith College claims ft lower percentage of illness than Amhei-st, and Wellesley's figures, allowing for all days of illness, gave an average of two days only to each student. The Principal of 8 worth more College, a coeducational school, told me that much more anxiety was there felt for the health of the young men than of the young women. There are no figures for Michigan University, but the health of girl students certainly does not fall below that of the men. When President Bascom, of the University of Wisconsin, kept the health records of that school for 1877,without the* knowledge of the students, the ratio of excuses was one woman to three men. President Bascom has written more recently that, other things being equal, the young women bear the mental strain and sedentary life involved in a college course,• as well, if not better than the young men. It is an easy matter by injudicious eating aud dressing to injure one’s health and call it over-study, but with good habits in those respects, with regular exercise, out of doors and in the gymnasium, a mental stimulus will contribute to a physical stimulus. A woman runs fewer dangers in college than a man, because she is less liable to lie led into dissipation. Her health will bear comparison with her brother’s, if they entered college on anything like equal terms, and she stands in nil probability a better chance for a healthful womanhood than the sister who stays at home, especially if the sister does not find herself anything in particular to do.” “If it is the well directed effort that im proves the health what becomes of the graduate who has nothing to do when she lea ves school ?” “I can answer by an illustration. A lady came to me in some anxiety about her daughter. The girl had been vigorous during her school aud college life, but had lost her color ami grown languid since. Nothing seemed to ail her, but she was not well. I put a number of questions and finally asked what she was doing. Nothing in particular, ber-mother said. 1 inquired if a key to the enigma did not suggest itself, and the lady at once remembered that she haii herself almost gone into a decline on leaving school, when she was a girl, Iss-ause she fretted herself ill from sheer idleness. Hhe had taken a school and won back her health by hard work teaching; but, curiously enough the probable difficulty and the obvious remedy had not occurred to lier in the case of her daughter. Many girls are out of sorts on leaving school whose par ents think it the natural reaction from men tal strain and prescribe a long rest, during which the trouble only increases, whereupon education for girls is discredited in that household. In good truth it is not work, but stoppage of work, that hurts. The girls, after an active mental life at school, are stranded suddenly with nothing to think of aud grow ill In mind and body both. The better the education the more likely this is to happen, however. The brain that has had thorough discipline will not let itself rustout. It has learned the blessing of effort and will make graduation a starting not a stopping point. “It is safe then to teach a woman to read t” “The woman who is mentally well balanced, is the woman who is most apt to be physically strong.” Eliza Putnam Heaton. Brace Up. You are feeling depressed, your appetite is poor, you are bothered with headache, you are fidgety, nervous and generally out of sorts, and want to brave up. Brace up, but not with stimulants, spring medicines or bitters, which have for their basis very cheap, bad whisky, and which stimulate you for an hour, and theu leave you in worse condition than before. What you want is an alterative that will purify your blood, start healthy action of liver and kidneys, restore your vitality, and give renewed health and strength. Such a medicine you will find in Electric Bitters, and only 50 cents a bottle, at Lippman & Bros.’ Drug Store. A Reflection After Christmas. Calmly reviewing the scenes of our ante- Christmas triumphs, reflections of various kinds and degrees of interest stand up in our miud in serried phalanx, and will not down at a mere bidding. Some of them take this shape. Numbers of people havo not yet made their purchases. Some hadn’t time during the hurry and flurry of Christmas week, aud others, whose wisdom must not go for naught, thought that perhaps after Christmas prices might shrink a little. Well, they have, we admit, weakened a lit tle ut del - stress of tradt* that is t he least hit quiet, and some very sober reflections urge us to Sell, Hell, SIvLL, and not have any thing of a “winter” nature to lay in the “lapof spring” —wisdom, ehildof nature we obey—in goes the blade a little deeper, profits whittled some tbinuer, hut we con sole ourselves with thoughts of the “Shorn lamb,” and disappearing stock. Again you are still in season for Christmas motives, a present now, or any other day, will lie just as welcome as on the 25t h or 31st of Decem ber for that matter. Lot* of nice Dress and Business Suits on hand, charming Overcoats, tasty Smoking Jackets, and the bargains in Broken Suits, Odd Coats, Vests or Panta loons, are startling.
