It is not so much the difficulty of any one particular household task that wears away the strength as it is the fact that the same duties have to be tended to day after day. It is the “con- | stant dropping wears away the stone,” and similarly it is the repetition ot small tasks that wears upon the housewife. A great deal can be gained by using a certain system as much as possible, as in this way the work will not get behind or accumulate, but can be kept done and up-to-date. It is the same way with the health—let it once sin it I know : HE tendency of the times is for bout any of them.” young women to prefer work in office or factory rather than do- ing housework. Yet the work in the office or factory is usually more nerve-racking because it is a constant repetition of work at high speed—a tension which racks brain and body and from which there is no relaxation. On the other hand, the housekeeper, if she be a mother of a large family, is weighted down with worries and cares —her housework is beyond her strength, perhaps, yet if she studies her work, puts her housework on a business basis and manages well, she can easily take twenty minutes or half an hour in the @ son, who Is daughter, He isa Wolford, who came from Freeport, | middle of the day to completely relax. y~wi Ill, a few days ago, went to the Penn-|By complete relaxation, Dr. Pierce} “get behind” and the system become means that the tired woman should lie] weakened, and then each Mittle effort adds more and more_to_the general on her back without nillow or holster: He met the >t OOOO id Wants Sunday Wor Monday before Police SELLLLOELO405009000OOOOG04 Work.Monday Morning Wonders, breakdown till the entire system fs = wreck, The peculiar and exquisite ner~ yous system of woman renders her par- ticularly.

When a woman has ills and pains she cannot bear—when life seems dark for woman—she should confide her troubles to a physician of standing in the community, or one who has a n: tional reputation. Certainly it Soa not be the part of wisdom to confide in an ignorant person without medical education simply because she was 4 woman. There is every reason why she should write to a spgcialist, particularly to one who has made the diseases of women a Teale for a third of a cen- tiry, like Dr. R. V.

All his correspondence is held sacredly confidtntial, and he gives his advice free and without charge, Many are confined to a continual {n- door life because of disease of the womanly organs.
