The Great Strengthening
Remedy!!

A Nerve and Blood Remedy of unequaled
virtue, and of such peculiar qualities that it
is soothing, consoling and strengthing to
the entire physical system, exhilarating the
nerves, and awakening activity and energy
Indeed, so many are the diseases and weak
nesses which it cures, that an ignorant per-
son noticing the result attributes to the
virtue lies in its capacity of removing OBJ
structions, regulating unbalanced action,
and increasing the VITAL FORCES, which
is the secret of all health and of all life!
No one who has ever used it has failed
to be benefited by it. A trial will convince
you that it will perform the work that is
claimed for it,

to the prevalent discomfort of women
with their home duties, and assures
them that home-making is the most
honorable duty that they can perform,

main cause Of the strife and sin that
curse the world Home she SAYS,

her rights can never be dethroned, that
all pure love. all right thoughts, all
religions, all governments, il we would
have them live and flourish, must have

first before all other thingsl No mat
ter how high your ambition may tran
sceud its duties, no mater how far
your talents or your influence may
reach beyond its doors, before every
thing else build up a true home! BE
not its slave; be its minister! Let it
not be enough that it is swept and
garnished. that its silver is brilliant,
that IFS food is delicious. but feed the
love in it, feed the truth in il, feed
