WOMEN! GUARD YOUR HEALTH.

There are thousands of Australasian women whose duties call them out in all weathers, often to sit with wet feet or stand all day, thus undermining their health. Many women, howovor, spend their lives at home, and these are ambitions that their homes should be kept neat and clean, their children well dress, ed and tidy, and they often do their own housework and sewing for the entiro family. Truly, the work of such women "is never done," and is it any wonder that Bhe breaks down at the end of a few years—her back achcs, there is a general depression, and the struggle to continue her duties is.pitiful? The reason is that tha. kidneys'are not doing their duty. If they were, the blood would be kept pure, and would nourish the whole body; but, if the kidneys are inactive, tho blood carries pain and disease throughput tho system. Dr.i Sheldon's Gin Pills are the great corrective for all Kidney ills, and in making the Kidneys well will soon remove such symptoms as Backache, Headache, Nervous Depressson, - Dragging Pains, Sleeplessness, Lassitude, ojid other distressing ailments which women are so often subject to.
