Delicate, weak, nervous women
should especially shun the use of al
coholic medicines which, from their
stimulating and exhilarating effects
may see, for time, to do good,
but which from the inevitable effects

to do great and lasting harm in the
long run. Besides they beget a
craving for stimulants which is most
deplorable.

strengthening effects can follow the
use of this famous medicine for wom-
