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.

Condition.
In large silk mill where the looms
were drumming, and all was noise and
hustle, woman skilled in manufactur-
ing and dyeing delicate silks was toll
ing. She looked tired and detected.
Her cheeks We're sunken, and there
We're dark lines beneath her eyes. You
could easily detect the peculiar sallow
look which comes upon the faces of all
women at certain periods. Occasionally
her face, which was usually bright and
attractive, would be clouded by pain
just as the sunlight is sometimes shut
off by passing clouds. 1t was easy to
see she was not happy.
And yet she worked, struggling along
when she should have been al home, and
possibly in 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 of that day, while she
was so braveiy struggling, the exhala-
tions from her body were running 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 1t was found that the color
ings 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
toiling.
This is sad story, but it is absolute
1y true. 1t happened in Newark, n. j.,
and furnishes a very valuable lesson.
1t shows that women, however careful
they may be, are often, unknown to
themselves, 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, 1t is a fact,
proven beyond the shadow of doubt,
that women of the present day can by
availing themselves of the latest and
best discoveries of science, almost
wholly overcome the ill-effects of the
periodic sickness. 1t is true there has
never been but one discovery for ac-
complishng this desirable end, but that
one has proven to be so pure, so scien-
tific, and so efficient. that it is being
used almost universally Here is what
Mrs. Randolph Howell of Washington,
says upon this most important subject:
y have often in the past found it
impossible to attend receptions and
other social functions, owing to a tenn
porary state of illness. but of late years
| have been enabled to entirely Danish
all painful effects to myself and posi-
| BILE unpleasantness to others by the use
! of discovery which / believe, to be a
| boon to womankind-Wa Safe
| Cure / have been 50 wonderfully
| helped by the painless powers of this
! remedy-which has seemed like a friend
| in need-that | have urged its use upon
nearly all of my lady acquaintance.
Women should not suffer need not
! 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
dercd all this needless. Thousands Of
women have learned this, and can
cheerfully testify to the happy condi-
ton they have been in since they
! learned what to do.
