A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children 1t ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The Ills OF women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, the blues" Sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability Cf
women arise from some derangement
Of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritabilityP Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying2
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound !;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing-down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
tion than Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.

were being cured by eating Grape

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.
