THE PROVINCE OF WOMAN
“As some fiar violet, lovelie# of
the glade,
Sheds its mild fragrance on the
lonely shade,
Withdraws its modest head from
public sight,
Nor courts the sun, nor seeks the
glare of light,
Should some rude hand profanely
dare intrude,
And bear its beauties from its
native wood,
Exposed abroad, its languid colors
fly.
Its form decays, and all its odors
die— t
So woman, born to dignify retreat,
Unknown to flourish, and unseen be
great,
To give domestic life its sweetest
charm,
With softness polish, and with virtue
warm;
Fearful of fame, unwilling to be
known,
Should seek but Heaven’s applauses
and her own. »>

due to the care taken in selection
and preparation, was such that they
commanded the highest prevailing
prices, The women’s husbands be

led to the introduction of Jerseys,

The Greatest, Drugless Health Science of the Day.
Five Reasons Why You Should Take Chiropractic Adjustments
1. Because Chiropractic is the only me.hod today that considers
the actual basic CAUSE of disease and eliminates that CAUSE.
2. Because Chiropractic is not founded on superstition and nour¬
ished on credulity.
3. Because the record which Chiropractic has made is in itself
ample proof of its effectiveness. 10,000 Chiropractors are in the
United States today, and over a million people take daily adjust¬
ments with the best of results.
4. Because the only way to regain health is the natural way.
6. Because the results the Chiropractor obtains are permanent
