ing example OF the solution of the per-
petual motion theory.
And 1t is utterly impossible for even
the strongest of women to keep busy
and stirring about continually without
dire results. ..# ....

solutely necessary even in work says

Pretty soon the downward, dropping
lips, the languid air and pallid cheeks
tell of the tagged out condition of this
busy lady's body. .......

wrinkles, tagged nerves, and the gem
