SHE DID NOT KNOW 1T
BUT, ALAS, MANY OF THOSE
ABOUT HER DID.
A Graphic story which shows How
seldom Women Realize Their True
Condition.


seldom Women Realize Their True
Condition.
In a large silk mill where the looms
were drumming, and all was noise and
hustle a woman, skilled in manufactur-
ing and dyeing delicate silks was toll
ing. 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 of
all women at certain periods. Occa-
sionally her face. which was usually
bright and attractive, would be cloud
ed by pain Just as the sunlight is sonie-
times shut off by Passing clouds. 1t
was easy to see she was not happy
And vet she worked, struggling along
when she should have been at home,
and possibly In bed. Poor little wo-
| man! How brave she was in her suf-
fering and how faithful. And yet,
during all that time, she was uncon-
sciously bringing disaster to her en-
| ployer Every moment of that day,
while she was so bravely struggling,
| the exhalations from her body were
running tho delicate colCrs of the silk
upon which she was working.
Alas, she did not know 1t! But when
the choice silks came upon the market
and IL was found that the colorings
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 toiling.
This is sad story but it Is ahso-
lutely true. 1t happened in Newark,
N. j., and furnishes very valuable
lesson. 1t shows that women, how
ever careful they may be, are often,
unknown to themselves. eXertng 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 rome the less true.
Ard yet, fortunately it is a fact
proven beyond the shadow of doubt
that women of the present day can,by
availing them selves of the latest ano
best discoveries of science, almosj
wholly overcome the ill-effects of the
periodic sickness. 1t is true ther'
has never been but one discovery fol
accomplishing this desirable end, bu
that one has proven TO be so pure, Sc
scientific, and so efficient, that it IL

is what Mrs. Randolph Howell, o
Washington, says upon this most i'm

II have often in the past found /
impossible to attend receptions ant

porary state of illness. but of lat

bnnish all painful effects to myself an'
possible unpleasantness to others b,

remedy-which has seemed like a frien

about them. If they will only use prope
care and the best inventions of scienC
for their help. There is every reaso
why they should be both healthy an
