THE CHANGE OF LIFE

mans existence. Owing to modern
methods of living, not one woman in
thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing

times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to the heart until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, sometimes with
chills, as if the heart were going to
stop for good, are symptoms of dan
gerous, nervous trouble. Those hot
flashes are just SO many calls from
nature for help. The nerves are cry

An Old Poem.

-=, read it back there somewhere in those olden
days
- Which sterner life has done with and discarded
now;
] know it spoke Of roses blooming by the ways
That Love trod, and then of the thorns on Sor-
rows brow,
And then of tears and memory and pensve gaze
And-but never recall the lines, somehow.
] know not whom the author was; his station,
name,
Did not impress themselves upon me at the
time;
Just remember melody and music came
With soul and sweetness, from his sad and sim
pie rhyme,
And fingered, have fingered never lines Of fame
Within my heart, with throb of tenderness sub
even now forget the name he gave his song,
The meter that it carried with it, or the feet
The verse contained, whether it was short or
long;
But have not forgotten it was very sweet
And full of sobs and sentiment, and right and
wrong,
And all the things required to make our lives
complete.
Tonight it comes to from out the dear, dead
past,
All dim and indstinct, as dreams of childhood
are,
Or face of loved ones that sad Memory has cast
So near within the heart, and in the mine
far;
This much l know, its theme, prophecy at last,
Tells my own story at Hopes everlasting bar.
