Yes, certainly; but a woman's or ganism is essentially different from a man's more delicate, more sensi tive and more exacting. Women in delicate health are more dependent, more nervous, more irritable and more despondent. When a woman develops nervousness, sleeplessness, backaches, headaches, dragging down pains and melancholia she should lose no time in giving Lydia E.
