What can be more distressing than to see
q girl dropping 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 complexion, and
a languidness of step that bespeak disease and
an early death if proper treatment is not
promptly resorted to and persisted in until thea
impoverished blood is enriched, and the tunc-
lions of life become regular. Upon parents
rests a great responsibility at the time their
daughters are budding into womanhood. If
your daughter is pale, complains of weakness,
is tired out upon the slightest e%xertion, if
she is troubled with headache, backache, or
pain in the side, il her temper is ftful
and her appetite poor, she Is in q con-
dition of extreme peril, a fit subject for the
development of that most dreaded of all dis
eases-Consumption. If you notice any of
something that will assist the patient to de-
velop properly and regularly that will enrich
the blood, and restore health's roses to the
cheeks; bright eyes and a lightness of step so
that danger of consumption and premature
death will 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 i'll her own
words.
