Some Inside History in Feminine

Women are great sufferers from nervousness,
weakness nervous prOstration and debility.
Thousands of girls droop and languish in the
close, confined atmosphere Of shops, factories or
Offices and hundreds of thousands wear out their
nerve force and power in household cares family
bereavements and responsibilities and work which
never ends
Here lies the great strain upon the nervous sys
TENS of women. Here is the cause why so many
women complain of being weak, nervous, tired
and exhausted
They have little or no rest; their life is one con-
tinual round of work, duties here, duties there,
duties without number. What wonder that such
women go to bed at night fatigued, and wake
tired and unrefreshed in the morning. What
wonder that they become worn out so to speak,
in nerve and vital power What wonder that
they have great weakness exhaustion, pains in
back and limbs, together with the distressing fe-
male complaints which are always caused by loss
of vital strength and vgorl OF how many thous-
ands of women is the above a true and exact
transcript Of daily life? They have worn out
and exhausted their nerve force and physical
power. They must work, but it follows as surely
the day follows the night that they must re
ceive from some source a renewal of nerve force
and physical energies, or the human machine will
soon cease to run at all
