What can Be more distressing than to see
a girl drooping and fading in the spring time
of youth Instead of bright eyes, glowing,
rosy cheeks, and an elastic step. there
are dull eyes, pale, sallOw, or greenish COM
plexion, and a languidness of step that be-
speak disease and an early death if proper
treatment is not promptly resorted to and
persisted in until the impoverished blood is
enriched, and the functions of life become
regular. Upon parents rests q great re-
spOnsibility at the time their daughters are
budding into womanhood. Ifyour daughter
is pale, complains of weakness, is tired
out =" upon the slightest exertion, if she is
troubled with headache, backache or
pain in the side, if her temper is ftful
and her appetite poor, she is in con-
ditlon of extreme peril, fit subject
fer the development of that most dreaded
of all diseases Consumption. If you
notice any of these symptoms lose no
time in procuring something that will as
sist the patient to develop properly and re-
gularly; that viii enrich the blood, and re-
store health's roses to the cheeks bright
eyes and lightness of step so that danger
be averted. Wise and prudent mothers will
insist on this, upon the approach of the
period of puberty, and thus avoid all
chances of disease or early decay.
At Three Oaks, Michigan, there lives a
woman with a most remarkable history.
The following story is given in her own
words.

about my case hardly know which would
be thought the most important. Seven years
ago had an attack of malarial fever, which
turned to the typhoid. After that I never
felt as well-my nervous system was COM
Pletely unstrung. Five years ago last March
1 felt the first symptoms of rheumatism.
The next March had La grippe, which left
me with what the doctor pronounced muscu-
lar rheumatism. l became better but in
November had another severe attack. 1t
settled in my back and right hip, and was
then called sciatica- L was blistered several
times without any relief. Ispent all of that
to be out little, but in August had an
other attack and was blistered again. This
time they kept the blisters sore for over two
weeks, but received no benefit.
After this L had sixteen boils, or some
thing similar, on the right side. I COM
menced to get crooked and had to use a cane
when l walked. / again got a little better,
but in February became worse, and my
back gave out completely so that 1 could not
straighten- The doctor said it was the
breaking down of the bone structure of the
vertebra. l was nearly double. When !
became able to walk was so bent over that
had to walk by pushing chair, as could
not straighten. could not sit and lean
back in a rocker. There was large bunch
about halfway down my back which, at
times. panied me terribly.

Pills, but because they did not help me at

to have my bed made. had chills every
night and my hands and feet were like ice
all the time At last l lost all control of my
nerves and if I commenced to laugh or cry
could not stop.

head and back which made me nearly wild
