Have YOu a Mother 7

Have you a mother ? II so, honor
and love her. II she is aged, do all in
your power to cheer her declining
years. Her hair may have bleached,
her eyes may have dimmed, her brow
may contain deep and unsightly fur
rows, her cheeks may be sunken, but
you should never forget the holy love
and tender care she has had for yeu.
In years gone by she has kissed away
from your cheek the troubled tear /;
she has soothed and petted you when
all else appeared against you she has
watched over and nursed you with a
tender care known only to mother /;
she has sympathized with you in ad-
versity she has been proud of your
success. You may be despised by all
around you, yet that loving mother
stands as an apologist for all your
shortcomings. With all that disinter'
ested affection, would it not be un.
grateful in you in her declining years
il you failed to reciprocate her love
and honor her as your best, tried
friend We have no respect for man
or woman who neglects a mother. II
you have mother, love her, and do all
in your power to make her happy

Weak Women.


The more sensitive nature Of the ie.
male sex renders women much more
susceptible than men to those numer-
GUS ills which spring from lack of har-
mony in the system. The nervous
system gives way, sick headache is
fraquent, the appetite is lost, and 9TH
er ailments peculiar to the EEK canse
great suffering. Hoods Sarsaparilla
is peculiarly adapted for such eases,
and has received the most gratifying
praise for the relief it has AFFORDED
thousands of women whose very exist
ence before taking it, was only misery.
1t strengthens the nerves, cures sick
headache and indigestion, pnriii"s and
vitalizes the blood, and gives regular
and healthy action to every organ in
