How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of tbo female organs makes every movement painful and keeps tho nervous system all unstrung I One day she is wretched and utterly miserable; in a day or two she is better and laughs at her fears, thinking there is nothing much tho matter after all; but before night the deadly backache reappears, the limbs tremble, the lips twitch —it seems as though all tho imps of Satan were clutching her vitals; she goos to pieces and is flat on her back. No woman ought to arrive at this terrible state of misery, because these symptoms are a sure forerunner of womb troubles. She must remember that Lydia E.

My troubles began with inflam mation and hemorrhages from the kidneys, then inflammation, congestion and falling of the womb, and inflammation of the ovaries. I underwent local treatment every day for some time; then, after nearly two months, the doctor gave me permission to go back to work. I went back, but in less than a week was compelled to give up and go to bed. On break ing down the second time, I decided to let doctors ana medicines alone and try your remedies. Before the first bottle was gone I felt the effects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.

Our loisure class is small, our working world very largo. Many of our leading citizens of great wealth are hard workers. Our laboring classes aro found in liordB nnd hordes in tho “hlvesof industry.” What is all this work for? In most cases it is for dally bread, In many for maintenance of others. Great numbers also work to acquire wealth. Somo for great commercial prominence. Some to pveservo intact a splendid Inheri tance. Necessity, generosity and ambition arc tho inspiration of all classes of* indus try, and tho object of every one falls to tho ground when ill-health attacks him. Maintaining health is tho most vital thing in the world for workers of every olass, and tho usefulness of Dr. Greene’s Ncrvura blood and nerve remedy, as n strengthonor of tho constitutional and vital powers, is beyond all question. This great remedy enters into partnership with Nature and helps human beings do their work without giving up to prema ture decay. The strain of work is on tho minds of some,' on tho bodies of others, but tho nourishing of either, or both, Is In the nerves and blood. Ncrvura aots directly on the fountains of health and its strengthening power is wonderful. Dr. Greene’s NERVURA for the Blood and Nerves, What docs tho worker do when some chronlo trouble manifests itself ? He takes some stimulant or something which is designed for temporary effect, and simply weakens his already overworked system, now different from this is the work of Ncrvurai How beautiful its support to tho natural powersl With out shock of any kind its purely vegetable elements seek out tho weak spots and build them up. Imme diately tho circulation of the blood improves and tho sluggish elements are expelled.

It seems a* though cherished no tion* are no sooner on an apparently firm foundation than somo inconsid erate iconoclast comes along and throw* them down. People have for many year* supposed that the color green waa restful to human eyes, and have been referred to the green grnss and green foliage that nature has been so prodigal with for the benefit of wearied vision. Now, according to a German profes sor of Berlin, nature wasn’t thinking of human eyes when she made her profuse verdant display, and that her color scheme was carried out absolute ly regardless of the visual needs of humanity. He say* that green does not protect tho eye, and be denies that it hns any beneficial effect whatever. He declares that green paper, green shades, green glasses, green decora tions and green umbrellas are all a mistake, and that by Increasing tho green light we are simply provoking a nervous disturbance. He says that each of the colors tires a different set of nerves of vision, and, therefore, looking at one particular color saves one set of nerves at the expense of another. The best method, he says, Is to dim all of tho rays of light by smoked or gray glasses, which rest all of tho optic nerves. HIS MOTHER WAS "ON TO” HIM. “"An old woman, plainly dressed, went Into the men’s hat department of a big store the other dny and said to a salesman: “Here is $2. My son will come here tomorrow, and you will please fit him out with a $2 hat His name Is so-and-so.” The salesman asked why the purchase of the hat was to be made in this strange way, and the old woman answered; “If I should give my son the money he would spend It for rum and got no bat.” Then she departed, and the next day the son appeared. He was a tough man of 88 or 40. He gave his name, and then he said: “Say, how much did de old lady give ye.fer de sky-piece?” “Two dol lars,” the salesman answered. “Ghee, Is dat all? Say, she’s glttln’ mean In her old age, ain’t she? Well, trot out a dollar sky-piece, an* gimme de change, see.” The salesman would not do that, however, and the promising son had to take a $2 hat The first one that was shown to him suited.
