SHE DID NOT KNOW IT
hut, ALAS, MANY or THOSE ABOUT
HER DID.
Graphic story Which shows How
seldom Women Realize Their True
Condition.

In large sllk-mll, where the loom
were drumming. and all was noise an'
hustle. woman. skilled in manufacturing
and dyeing delicate silks, was toiling
She looked tired and detected.
Her cheeks were sunken, and there wer'
dark lines beneath her eyes. You coult
easily detect the peculiar sallow loof
which comes upon the faces OF all womef
at certain periods. Occasionally her face
which was usually bright and attractive
would be clouded by pain just as the sun
light is sometimes shut off by passing
clouds. IL was easy to see she was mol
happy.
And yet she worked. struggling along
when she should have been at home, anc
possibly I'm 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 CT that
day, while she was so bravely struggling
the exhalatons from her body were ruin
ing the delicate colors 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 colorings were
ruined, an investigation was made and
the poor little woman was discharged.
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. J.. and
furnishes a very valuable lesson. 1t
shows that women. however careful they
may be- ere 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 the shadow of doubt, that wo-
men of the present day can, by availing
themselves of the latest and best dis
coveries of science, almost wholly over
come the ill-effects of the periodic sick
ness. 1t is true there has never been but
one discovery for accomplishing this de-
sirable end, but that one has proven 10

that II is being used almost universally.
Here is what Mrs. Randolph Howell, OF
Washington, says upon this most impor-
tant subject:

social functions, owing to temporary
state of illness, but Of late years ] have
been enabled to entirely Danish all pain

santness to others by the use of dis

womankind--Warner's Safe Cure. have

seemed like a friend I'm need-that / have

Women should not suffer, need lot
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 is 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.
