Airs Bessie M.,sley

To be such successful wife, to re-
tain the love and admiration of her
husband. to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be woman's
constant study.
If woman finds that her energies
ere flagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
She has backac}le, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, whites, irreg-
nlarities or the blues. she should start
at once to build up her system by a
Daic with specific powers, such as

DOund.

letter from a young wife:

What Lydia f. Pinkhan's Vegetable
