Women Who Wear Wen.

It is astonishing how great change =
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, tho charm, thu
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which Is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, u 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 tho
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 check
Of its freshness and the form OF its
fairness.
