passing down the street who LOOK IKE
sisters. You are astonished to learn that

they are mother and daughter, and You
realize that woman at forty or forty
five ought to be at her finest and fairest.
Why isn't it so?
The general health of woman is so in
tinately associated with the local health
of the essentially feminine organs that
there can be no rich cheek and round
form where there are facilitating drains,
and female weakness. Women who have
suffered from these troubles have found
prompt relief and cure in the use of DIR.
