looks like work like something WAS going
to be done; like they were determined to
put up with nothing less than Anew Vir-

a GREAT MEDICINE FOR FENALEs l-Hun-
dreds of stimulauts have been invented
and sold, purporting to be specific in the
various diseases and arrangements to
which the delicate form of woman render
her subject. The result of all these slim
ulants has been to impart niomentdry dcfiU-
ity to the nervous System, and false vigor to
the muscles; but this relief has been sue
cceded by depression and prostration
greater than before; and the repeated at
tempts of invalids to build themselves up
by the false remedies, have fiually ended in
destroying what little vital organization
was left. But in using ''BerhdUcS HoE-

trous results. It is purely vegetable
compound, prepared on strictly scientific
principles, after the manner of the cele-
brated Holland Professor, B9rhave. I'm

receives new strength and vigor, appetite
