WoMAN's primitive beauty and vigt

WoMAN's primitive beauty and vigor,
which have been lost, can be restored and
retained by the action of certain constitu-
tional agents. These agents necessarily
regulate, build up, fortify and antagonize
all existing female irregularities and ex-
cesses, or distractions which produce the
i'll health. The remedy must unload the
locked up secretions, add iron TO the blood,
strength to the system and vitality TO the
nerves. Such remedy is found in the
use of English Female Bitters, great tri-
umPh in the cure of sickly females.
