The women Of to-day are not as strong
IS their grandmothers.
They are bearing burden in silence
that grows heavier day by day, that Is
sapping their vitality, clouding their hap
piness, weighing them down with the woe
OF Ill health.
Mrs. Alexander B. Clark, Of AT Michi-
gan Avenue, Detroit, is typical woman
of to-day. A wife with such ambition as
only loving wife can have. But the
Joys of her life were marred by the ex-
istence of disease.
Suffering as thousands Of her sisters have
suffered, she almost despaired Of life and
yet she was cured.
To-day she is well
She wants otl~rs to profit by her ex-
perience, to grow well; to enjoy health
to Be as happy as she is.
For five years l suffered with ovarian
trouble" Is Mrs. Clark's own version of
the story. ~ was not free one single day
from headache and intense twitching pains
in my neck and shoulders.
For months at time would be con-
fined to my bed.
AT times black spots would appear
before my eyes and would become blind.
My nerves were in such state that step
on the floor unsettled me.
