some of his friends that he will re
sign his office as one of the city

will be received by council Tues

“Those to whom Dr. Whipple lias
talked about matter say he gives

WOMAN
IS UKE A DELICATE
MUSICAL IMSTRUMEMT
In good condition she is sweet and lovable,
and sings life’s song on a joyful harmonious
string. Out of order or unstrung, there is
discordance and unhappiness. J ust as there
is one keynote to all music so there iscne key
note to health. A woman might as well try
to fly without wings as to feel well and look
well while the organs that make her a woman
are weak or diseased. She must be healthy
inside or she can’t be healthy outside. There
arc thousands of women suffering silently all
over the country. Mistaken modesty urges
their silence. While there is nothing more
admirable than a modest woman, health is
of the first importance. Every other con
sideration should give way before it. Brad
field’s Female Regulator is a medicine for
women’s ills. It is ,- ttgj
