A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge OF Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins q 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 a firebrand
apon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths Of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, the blues. sleep
lessness and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
DO you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ing ia 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 aud almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkhams Vege-

sands of women can testify to this fact.
