think OF What mother advised, we feel
pretty certain that she advised what was
right from her own experience. She
inherited later in her instinct Of mother
hood a knowledge of childish ailments and
a certain class of remedies that she knew
well and their effects. Experience after
all is the best teacher. Most mothers
know as well as doctors, and often better,
what ails a young girl on the threshold
OF young womanhood and what she
needs. For nearly forty years many
mothers have recommended to ailing
girls d prescription made from we'll
known native, medicinal plants. Lady's
