For THE LADIES.

There are some complaints to which
women are peculiarly liable and from which
they will suffer in silence for years, when
they could be easily cured by the use OF
PoND's EXTRACT. Its healing and s0oth-
ing properties have met with universal
and unqualified commentator from all
using it. Ladies who have never used 1t
will find it to their advantage to try 1t. II
they once do so they will never be with
out 1t again. Send to IA West Fourteenth
ST., New York, for copy of our pamphlet
and read pages 10, 10, Il and 26.

follow without a single misplace
