There has been laid bare a Tanit sane

Pauline marked thereon. While so
doing his eyes note some writing on

reads:

AL women 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.
ALI 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, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-

strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues

to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling TO earn q 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
