some old midwiyes for many years, possessing
magic powers in regulating and restoring all fe-
males suffering with any affection of the womb.
This root We have obtained, gave it n fair test in
our practice and it is now one of the principal
ingredients in these Bitters. Other powerful

If you are troubled with Falling of the Womb,
attended with a sense of weight and bearing

entire relief.

are conyalefcents from any pIOtracted or Tehili-

whose digestion is slow and imperfect, will find

Every night. when the stars comes out,
And the birds have gone to rest,
A little hand, like cooling dove,
Nestles about my breast;
Smooths my forehead and pats my checks
Passes its finger tips
Over my eyelids AID through my hair,
r Lingering on my lips;
Clings to my neck and clasps my arm,
Till, tired of its caress,
And fallen asleep within my OVID,
That pure white hand l press.
Manv a wear has come and gone:
The little hand is cold;
Children's children are on my knee,
And | am growing old.
Yet each night, as the stars come out,
And I near tho heavenly land,
I feel as felt in my early days,
