We see the truth of this statement in the varicoIored flowers, the vivid sunsets, the birds of brilliant plunage. But we never see it exemplified more attractively than in the person of a splendidly healthy woman How does nature paint this health? Why, in the rosy cheeks, the transparent skin, the smooth red lips of such a woman. And she moIds it in firm flesh and rounded contours. The ailing woman is deficient in natural colorings, and she does not even appear to advantage in clothes that would set off her more attractive sister Many women who long for glowing health will find that they, too, can have these charms if they will give a trial to that remedy which brings strength to fraii women Lydia E.
