cause OF such a physical change, which
IS not 10 be explained by the stress and
strain of daily labor, because there are
not few who, in spite OF years of steady
work, retain the girlsh attractiveness OF
face and figure. Perhaps the most i'm
portant cause Of this change is to be
found IN the prevalence Of ailments
peculiarly femme, which drain the Vi
tally and sap the strength. If the truth
we're known 1t would be found that these
worn out women had been working
under physical conditions, which, if
man suffered them would be enough TO
send him to bed. With throbing head

to rest or pay physicians fees, and
every day sees her grow more weary and
