STRENGTH WEAKNESS.

The strong man and the weak woman. The sturdy oak and the clinging vine. Women to-day do not expect to be carried around like children. They have serious work to do-hard work-and they must be fitted for it. The ideal medicine to build up weak women is Smiths Green Moua. tain RenOvator, because it is made in Vermont of pure, wholesome herbs, redo lent of the fragrant woods, the green hills and the bracing air. These herbs are so combined as to assist Naturs in restoring Strength.
 1T wish to say to you that after using tour pot ties of your Reiovator it has worked wonders for me- It has given me great strength and muscular vitality increased my appetite and given me rest ful sleep. have also suffered with bad blood for years, and when commencing the Renovator had twenty boils on my neck. They have now disap- peared, and cannot say enough in praise of this great tonic for the muscles, nerves and blood-it is a grand medicine.
