All ONE work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some In
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature Of
their duties. in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints. ovarian
troubles. liberation, falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucorrh9a,
or perhaps irregularity or suppression
of monthly periods" causing back
ache, nervousness. irritability and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible to these
troubles than others.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day. to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn Il livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement of the female or
