There is nothing more attractive in the world than a healthy glow ot cheek, a well rounded torm and an elastic step in a woman.

These things may cover some detects, but there is an absence ot “the eternal fitness of things.’” There are hundreds ot ladies whose lives are ebving slowly away, and leaving them ‘wrecks of thes former selves.’ who might be saved from this ‘living death’? by the use of that invigorating tonic, Switt’s Spe- cific.
