I have not worked very much
0 f late years at religion; but
when I had finished reading Mr.
J. Hudson’s able article, in the
Times-Courier of the 18th inst.
1 was forced to exclaim, Amen.
If a few more of our good peo¬
ple had the ability, of Mr. Hudson

earnest zeal for the cause of ed
ucation. old Gilmer would soon be
noted for its enlightened citizen
ship, instead of being noted +or |

to the one of March 5th, 1915

ance so regularly that they

their household work accord¬
ingly. Few women think of
seeking medical help to get
rid of it for good. If women

Wins they would not be
without it a-moment longf -
than it would take to get it
from the drug store. It is a
splendid remedy for all nau¬

ach. The first dose settles
the stomach and makes the
patient feel better. Addi¬
tional doses act on the female
j generative system, strength¬
ening weakened organs, reg¬
' ulating the habits, restoring
tone and strength in every
j part of the body. It is essen¬
tially a woman’s remedy
