Women Who Wear We'll.

1t is astonishing how great change a
few years OF married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brillance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesSes which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

per acre. In 1905, with an acreage Of
100 acres, | had "a bushels wheat and
30 bushels of oats per acre. In 1906,
with 175 acres under crop, / had %
bushels wheat and 40 Bushels of oats
per acre.
From the above mentioned yields

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this peri d
likely to become active and with q
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
aud tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes. headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpilation Of the heart,
irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this gre
change may be expected
