HER SECRET TROUBLES.
The Unknown Trials Which a Woman Endured
Without COMPATIBILITY They Vanished.

Near the close Of one of the most trying of
the few hot days of the present year pale,
care-worn woman might have been seen at the
window of her dwelling apparently in a condi-
ton of complete exhaustion. 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 overwhelm-
ing troubles. Nature had done much for her,
and in her youthful days she had been not only
beautiful, but the possessor of health such as 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 burden, but that death would be
q grand relief. This is no unusual experience.
1t is, in fact, a most common everyday occur
renee, and great prayer is constantly ascend
ing from thousands of homes for deliverance
from the deadly power which is enslaying SO
many wives mothers and daughters. And
yet these duties of life must be met. No
woman can afford to turn aside from the proper
care of her home and the ones who are COM
mitted to her care, although in doing these
duties she may sacrifice her health and posi-
bly, life itself The experience of one who sue
cessfully overcame such trials and yet retained
health and all the blessings it brings is thus
told by Rev. William Watson, Presiding Elder
of the Methodist-E Episcopal Church. residing at
Watertown, N. Y. He said:
My wife became completely run down
through overwork and care of sick member
of our household, and I entertained serious ap-
prehensions 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.
l have seen her about the house. trying cour-
ageously 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 frequently, her body was
becoming bowed by pain, and all hope of enjoy
ment in life seemed departed. What to do we
could not tell | resolved, however, to bring
back her life and vitality if possible, and to this
end began to treat her myself To my great
relief her system has been toned up, her
strength restored, her health completely recoy-
cred and wholly by the use of Warmers Tippe-
canoe, which / regard as the greatest tonic,
lnvigorator and stomach remedy that has ever
been discovered. / was led to use it the more
readily as / had tested the health-restoring
properties of Warmers Safe Cure in my own
person. and | therefore knew that any remedy
Mr.. Warner might produce would be vaIua-
bic one. | have since recommended both War
ner's Tippecanoe and Warmers Safe Cure to
many OF my friends and know several Doc
tors of Divinity as well as numerous laymen,
who are using both with great benefit"
If all the overworled and duty-driven wom-
en- of America could know of the experience
above described, and act upon the same, there
can be little doubt that much of the pain and
most Of the depressing influences Of life might
be avoided. Such truths are too valuable to
remain unknown.
