The happiness of home life depends
largely on the health of the wife and
mother. When her strength is unequal
to the daily cares and duties of home,
the evening hour finds her utterly worn
out, too tired to talk, too weary to read.
At first even she is glad to have her
husband 90 out for the evening. She
wants rest and quiet at any price. And
SO the foundation for marital misery is
often laid in ill-health.
But when the housewife is healthy
and strong she finds III her days duties
only sufficient outlet for her energy.
She looks forward all day to the evening
hour spent with her husband over a
book, or passed in quiet conversation
And every evening so spent draws the
wife nearer to the husband and knits
together the twain who are "one flesh
in the higher unity Of one mind.
Every woman should know that the
general health depends on the local
womanly health. Irregularity, weaken
ing drains, Inflammation, liberation and
female weakness are disorders which sap
the wornanS strength and destroy her
happiness with her health.
