The above scene is . fearful and faithful picture of what is taking place in all parts of the land constantly. The mother goes about from day to dny feeling tired, weak, with bearing down sensation, and yet hoping that 1t is only some passing trouble. After a time her tired feelings increase, her appetite becomes poor, her sleep broken, and her complexion grows sallow- Too often she hopes against hope, and neglects to take the means in time which would bring her certain relief.
 One day she becomes faint, her muscles grow weak, her head whirls. and the doctor Is hastily summoned. He examines her. shakes his head, leaves medicine and goes away. Then paina begin to set in, and life that was burden before pow becomes an agony. She gradually declines, her pain becomes almost unbearable. and at last eiie dies, mourned by her children and friends.
 This is the course of thousands of once healthy and happy, women. The innumerable female troubles which assal them are horrible, and indicate weakening of organs which must be strengthened, or health is sure to depart The overwhelming evidence Of the wonderful value of Hunts Remedy for female difficulties proves ts remarkable power.
 It is wholly vegetable.
 It is endorsed by the medical profession.
 It will always relieve and usually cure.
 It stands far above all other preparations
 For delicate women, for debilitated men. for puny children, Hunts Remedy Is blessing.

He who leaves the soil better than he found it, who makes the wilderness bud and blossom as the rose, who helps to clothe the race with cotton, with wool. or with silk is a public benefaetor. She who makes happy, harmonious home, whence go out young men and women fitted for the labors of life, she who tolls in the school room, directing the evolu- tion of juvenile mind, or in the work room, adding to the conveniences or adornments of daily life, is a public ben efactor.
