HER SECRET TROUBLES.
The Unknown Trials Which = Woman
Endured Without Complaint
Why They Vanished.


Near the close Of one of the most trying
of tho few hot days of the present year
pale, care-worn woman might have been
seen at the window of her dwelling appar-
emily in a condition Of complete exhaus-
ton. Her efforts to meet the accumulated
duties of her household had been great but
unsuccessful, while the care of a sick child,
WHOSE walls could even then be heard, was
added to her otherwise overwhelming
troubles. Nature had done much for her
and in her youthful days she had been not
only beautiful but the possessor of health
such rs is seldom seen. But home and
family duties and the depressing cares
which too often accompany them had
proven greater than her splendid strength
and she felt at that moment not only that
life was a burden but that death would be
q grand re,.ef. This is no unusual expert
ence. 1t Is, in fact, most common every.
day occurrence, and great prayer is con-
stantly ascending from thousands of homes
for deliverance from the deadly power
which is enslaving so many wives, moth
ers and daughters. And yet these duties
of life must be met. No woman can af-
ford to turn aside from the proper care Of
her home and the ones who are committed
to her care, although in doing these duties
she may sacrifice her health, and possibly
life itself. The experience of one who sue
cessfully overcame such trials and yet re-
tanned health aud all the blessings it brings
is thus told by Rev. William Watson, Pre-
siding Elder of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, residing at WATERFOWL, N. Y. He
said:
"My wife became completely run down
through overwork and care of a sick mem
Der of our household, and ! entertained
serious apprehensions as to her future.
She was languid, pale, utterly exhausted,
without appetite, and in complete state
of physical decline. And yet she did not,
could not neglect her duties. / have seen
her about the house. trying courageously
to care for the ones she loved when could
tell, from the lines upon her face how
much she was suffering. At times she
would rally for a day or two and then fall
back into the state of nervous exhaustion
she felt before. Her head panied her FREE
quently, her body was becoming bowed by
pain and all hope or enjoyment in life
seemed departed. What to do we could
not tell. l resolved, however, to bring
back her life and vitality if possible and to
this end began to treat her myself. Tony

was led to use it the more readily as had
tested the Notwithstanding properties OF

] therefore knew that any remedy Mr..
Warner might produce would be valuable
one. / have since recommended both Warn

Doctors of Divinity as well as numerous
laymen who are using both with great
benefit"
If all the overworked and duty driven
women of America could know Of the ex'
rerience above described, and act upon the
same, there can be little doubt that much
of the pain, and most of the depressing in
fluences of life might be avoided. Such
truths are too valuable to remain unknown.
