HjHBHWHMglMy rl M BoZ Wlion a cheerful, bravo and light-hearted woman is sud denly plunged into that perfection of misery, tho blues, it is a sad picture. It is usually thi3 -way : Sho has been feeling out of sorts for somo time, experi encing severe headacho and backache ; sleeps very poorly and is exceedingly nervous. Sometimes sho is nearly overcome by faintness, dizzi ness, and palpitation of tho heart j then that bearing-down feeling is dreadfully wearing. Her husband says, "Now, don't get the blues ! You will bo all right after you have taken tho doctor's medicine." But she does not get all right. She grows worse day by day, until all at once sho realizes that a distressing female complaint is established. Her doctor has made a mistake. She 1 loses faith ; hope vanishes: then comes the morbid, melancholy, everlasting blues. Sho should have been told ;just what tho trouble was, but probably sho withheld somo information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unablo to accurately locate her particular illness. i.MFs. PJ11111 ha9 rolieved thousands of women from just this kind of trouble, and now retains their grateful letters in her library as proof of the great assistance she has rendered them.

This is a pointed illustration of how United States goods find their way to the remotest corners of the earth.
