SHE DID NOT KNOW 1T.
But, ALAS. MANY CT THOSE ABOUT
Her do.
a Graphic Story Which Shows Row Seldom
Women Reaiiz9 Their Tue
Condition,

In large silk mill where the looms
We're drumming, and all was noise and
ouSue a woman, skilled in !manufactur-
ing and dyeing delicate silks was toilng
She looked tired and detected.
tt1er cheeks were sunken, and there
were dark lines beneath her eys. You
could easily detect the peculiar sallow
look which comes upon the faces of all
women at certain periods. Occasionally
her face, which was usually bright and
attractive, would be clouded by pain Just
as the sunlight is sometimes shut off by
passing clouds. 1t was easy to see she
was not happy.
And yet she worked, struggling along
when she should have been at home land
possibly in bed. Poor little woman!
How brave she was in her suffering, and
how faithful. And yet, during all that
time, she was unconsciously bringing
disaster to her employer Every moment
of that day, while she was so brayely
struggling, the exhalations from her
body We're running the delicate coIors of
the silk upon which she was working.
Alas, she did not know it! But
when the choice silks came upon the
market and it was found that the color
ings were ruined, an investigation was
made and the poor little woman was dis
charged
For what?
Simply because the sickness, which
comes to every woman at certain times,
had, unknown imperceptibly, colOred the
gossamer silks over which she was toll
ing.
This is a sad story, but it is absolutely
true. 1t happened in Newark, n. land
furnishes very valuable lesson. 1t
shows that women, however careful they
may be, are often, unknown to them
selves, exerting an influence, not only
upon the persons, but also upon the
things about them which is by no means
agreeable. 1t is unfortunate that such
should be the case, but it is none the less
true.
And yet, fortunately, it is a fact,
proven beyond 1.-THE shadow of a doubt.
that women Of the present day can, by
awaiting themselves of the latest and best
discoveries of science, almost wholly
overcome the iIl-effects of the periodic
sickness. 1t is true there has never been
but one discovery for accomplishing this
desirable end. but that one has proven
to be so pure, so scientific, and so eff
cient, that it is being used almost uni
versally. Here is what Mrs. Randolph
Howell, of Washington, says upon this
most important subject:
Il have often in the past found it inn
possible to attend receptions and other
social functions, owing to temporary
state of illness, but of late years | have
been enabled to entirely Danish all pain
full effects to myself and possible I'M
pleasantness to others by the use of a
discovery which | believe, to be a boon
to omankind-Warner's Safe Cure. l
bave been so wonderfully helped by the
painless powers of this remedy-which
has seemed like a friend in need-that
l have urged it's use upon nearly all
of my lady acquaintance"
Women should not suffer, need not
suffer, need not be unpleasing to those
about them, if they will only use proper
care and the best inventions of science
for their help. There lis every reason
why they should be both healthy and
happy; there is no reason why they
should be even temporarily indisposed.
Modern science and invention have rem
dered all this needless. Thousands of
women have learned this, and can cheer
fully testify to the happy condition they
have been in since they learned what to
do,
