The first lesson that the young cir
has of womanhood is usually a painful
one. She learns to know what head
ache means, and backache, and some
times is sadly borne down by this new
experience of life..

entirely prevented or cured by the use

A MOTHERS LOVE.
A mothers love is so divine that the

However, motherhood is often looked
forward to with feelings of great dread
by most women. At such times a
woman is nervous, dyspeptic, irritable,
and she is in need of Uterine tonic

her for the ordeal. No matter how
