Ore of a healthy WOMAN g


One of a healthy woman's
principal charms is her
vivacity of carriage - the
dainty, springy steps with
which she walks. The wo-
man who suffers from weak
ness and disease OF the dis
tinctly feminine organism,
who is troubled with back
aches, stitches in the sides,
dragging down or burning
sensations, sick headaches
and the multitude of other
ills that accompany these
disorders, cannot have the
dainty, bounding carriage
of a healthy woman. She
will show in every move
ment that she is a sufferer.
There is a wonderful med
icine for troubles of this de-
scription. that has stood the
test for thirty years, and has
been used successfully by
many thousands of women.

SIS F ffe Blood

which thoroughly cleanses the
blood of all the accumulated i'm
purities, tones up and strengthens
the entire system, and aids Nature
in renovating and renewing the
body so as to render it healthy and
strong. Those who purify their
blood with S. S. S. at this season
are well fortified against the many
forms of disease so prevalent dur
ing the dreaded heated term, for
it has been demonstrated that the
system that is thoroughly purified
in the spring is we'll prepared to
resist disease all summer.
No other remedy on the market
is equal to Swift's Specific as q
spring medicine, because it is the
only purely vegetable blood rem
edy and is guaranteed absolutely
free from potash, mercury and all
other minerals. 1t cleanses, puri-
fes, builds up and strengthens.
Insist OH S. S. S., for there is moth

article in the Nuova Antologia con-

ton by Mr.. Gladstone of his interview
with Plus TX in October, 1868. Mr..
Gladstone kissed the pope's hand and
bent one knee, and, being invited to sit
down, said he preferred to remain stand
ing, as if in the presence Of his sover-
eign. The pope retorted, "f the queen
ordered you to sit down, you would dc
So" There was therefore nothing left
but to obey.

The changes which Nature DEGREES
shall take place each spring are
so severe that a breakdown is

that all possible assistance be
