TOnIcs for women.

Nothing makes womans age more rapidly
than overwork-the reason, probably, that Amer
lean women fade so soon. Sunshine music, work
and sleep the greatest medicines for women,
who need more sleep than men. Their nerves
are more sensitive. and they are not 80 strong,
and exhaustion from labor or pleasure takes
place sooner with them than with men. Never
permit yourself to be reused out of deep sleep
in the morning. IL fact, one should never be
wakened. The body rouses itself when its de-
