"No dead faces for mel" exclaimed

if she was going to take a last look
at a friend who had just passed away:

don't see why it is, but l like to go to

to suit me-"
This conversation took place in a
popular dry goods store. Unknown
to the young women who took part in
it. the remarks we're overheard by a
well-known physician. He looked at
the speakers thoughtfully for a few
moments, and then turning to the
writer. said:
do you know that these young
women are suffering from q disease?D
Well, it is fact. They are just like
thousands of other people-men and
women. 1t is just the result of the
terrible wear and tear of our daily life,
with its constant rush and overwork,
its business and home life. There is
no rest. everybody is on the go, and
even the healthiest cannot stand it.
When people get into this condition,
they become untitled for work of any
kind, feel run down, nervous, I'M
strung. 1t causes women to crave for
! excitement, or makes themgloomy and
fretful, They crowd into criminal
court to hear exciting trials, read
trashy novels, and find qualification in
the death chamber. 1t is all the re-
suit of an irritated system brought on
! by defective liver and kidney action.
| People, in these days, need to keep a
sharp lookout On their health in order
to avoid contracting serious and fatal
disease in this way"

pute, and deserve careful attention.
Their truth is fully proved by the
following remarkable statements
made by w~ell-known people who
speak from personal experience:

could not sleep at night or at any
other time. I consulted a great many
doctors, and they all said the disease
