But Never Pain

Menstruation is Nature-but men,

painful part. In a harmless-yes,

Midol is a more remarkable means
of relieving such pain than even a
habit-forming drug. 1t acts directly
on the organs affected by menstru-
alton, and relief comes in five TO
seven minutes.

was married my life has. been a night
mare of lebt. love my wife and I think
we could be happy if we didn't have to
quarrel over money every time I come in
the house.
NY wife has high ambitions and I like
to see her have what she wants. but twice
my salary wouldn't more than get what
she plans for and for which we always
are contracting more debts. I'm about at
hmy ropes end. A MERE MAN.
Your plant is a common one,
brother. and if you're bound round
S with bills, you surely have no easy
row to hoe. Like the recipe for the
drink habit, the way to quit running

cal stand. Tell your wife you'll be
irresponsible for no more bills, and try
ito make her see where your family
barge is heading if the debt rolling
isn't stopped. Surely she will CO.
Operate.
