.Woman'S Health
Requires Care

Women are so constituted as to
be peculiarly susceptible TO consu-
patton, and their general health
depends in large measure on care
full regulation and correction Of
this tendency. Their delicate or
ganisms rebel at the violence OF
cathartic and purgative remedies
which. while they may afford tenn
porary relief, shock the system and
seriously disturb the functional
organs. A mild laxative is far pre-
,erable and, IL properly compound
ed. much more effective.
