From the Democrat, Bnazi, lnd.
Every woman cannot be beautiful, but
cheerful face often supplies the deficiency.
But no one can be cheerful and bring JOY to
others unless they have perfect health. For.
iunately, science has placed this priceless
boon within the reach Of every woman as
the following incident proves:
Mrs. Amanda Robinson, wife Of William
Robinson, farmer and stockman, near
TOWNSVILLE. Clay. County, Ind.,. is thirty.
two years old and had for several years been
in declining health and respondent. For
three months she was not only unable to
attend to her domestic duties, but too feeble
to be up and about. To-day she is in good
health and able to attend to her household
affairs. She relates her experience as fol.

pressed. After taking various remedies
