The divorce evil seems to grow with
every year. $500 divorces were granted
in the State of Ohio last year. We agree
that there are faults on both sides, but the
great problem is: Are those faults Temcdl-
able To great extent there is no doubt
the conditions which result in divorce may
be 1emedied Given dyspeptic husband
and wife suffering from female trouble
and we have the ready made elements OF a.
divorce case. In view of the facts there
can be very little doubt that many women
look forward to divorce only because they
seek relief from obligations they do not
feel fitted TO fulfill Women are not TO
blame. They have looked forward to their
home life as a dream of paradise. Then
disease comes like serpent and destroys
all happiness
Women who suffer with facilitating
drains, inflammation, liberation, female
trouble and bearing down pains, will find
certain relief and cure in Doctor PieTce's
Fayo1ite Prescription. 1t so invigorates
the organs peculiarly feminine and regn-,
l2tes their functions that they are estab-5
lishcd in perfectly healthy condition.
