WOMANS INTUITIONAL NATURE EXPLAINED. Close and vital indeed is the relation of the brain-action to theprocess of thought, and to the general health of the body as of the blood-supply in any part of the body, as all recognize,. s.

Nowhere isthis more evident than in the brain. Now it has been learned that inwomans brain a richer blood-supply stimulates those portions con-trolling the unconscious processes. Her sub-conscious mind/ asit is sometimes called, is, therefore, more active than her consciousintellect; and for this reason she often knows by intuition, in a flash,something that man would laboriously reason out.
