How to Treat q Wife.

First, get q wife; second, be pa
tient. You may have great trials
and perplexities IN your business,
but do not therefore, carry to your
home a cloudy or contracted brow.
Your wife may have trials, which,
though of less magnitude, may be
hard for her to bear. A kind word,
a tender look, will do wonders in
chasing from her brow all clouds OF
gloom. To this we would add al
ways keep a bottle of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy in the house. 1t is
the best and is sure to be needed
sooner or later. Your wife will then
know that you really care for heI
and wish to protect her health. For
sale by L. G.. Matthaei, druggist.
