In a large silk mill where the looms
wcro drumming. and all was noise and
hustle a woman. skilled In manufacturing
and dycing delicate silks was toiling.
She looked tired and detected.
Her cheeks were sunken, and there
were dark lines beneath her eyes. You
could easily detect the peculiar sallow
look which comes upon the faces or all
women al certain periods Occasionally
her face. which was usually bright ana
attractive. would be coudcd By pain lust
as the sunlight IS sometimes shut OF by
passing clouds. IL was easy TO see she
Wa not happy.
And vet she worked, struggling along
when she should have been at home. ana
possibly in bed. Poor little woman'
How brave she was in her suffering, and
how faithful. And yet during an mat
time. She was unconsciously bringing
disaster 20 her employer. Every moment
OF that day, while she was so bravely
struggling. the exhalations from her
body were running the delicate colors oil
the silk upon which she was working.
Alas. she did not know u! But when
the choice sinks came upon the market
and ii was found that the colorngs were
ruined, an investigation was made ana
the poor little woman was discharged.
For what?
Simply because tho sickness, which
comes TO every woman az certain times

This IS a sad story. but 90 IS absolutely

beyond the shadow Of a doubt, that wo-

Women should not suffer, need not SUI

them. If they will only use proper care

they should be both healthy ana happy

even temporarily indisposed. Modern
science and invention have rendered all
this needless. Thousands OF women have
learned this. and can cheeriully TESTIFY 10
Inc happy condition they have been IN
