Woman, The Martyr.

It would be well for the luxurious liver to remember that in the usual compensating procedure of the present conditions of existence, there must be misery somewhere to balance his comfort, that every smilo must have its sorrow, as every shadow has light. This is to a.great extent true also of nature, bul it applies more directly tathe conditions of existence which arc essentially unnatural. Under tliese-^-Of p^.*jo^B,.H;.is patent that one man unrtt wwk' while the other rides, and that qrie niaV be driven by the other, and that one must bear the burdens of a dozen, but because it 13 true it is not natural. It is one of the heaviest penalties of civilisation, and some of the units of oivilsation must pay for it. We are all, that i& the males of the community, engaged in '"oppressing each other, and as there are unending grades in all slaveries, the poorest male slavo has a poorer slave ! at home, and. that slave is his wife. The j belle is murried, bright, beaming, hopeful, the ohildren como, the household cares increase, her love for husband and ohildren binds her around the neck as with a collar of iron. Nobody notices that she is prematurely old. Sha i£ too tired to know of it herself, the work in the home causes her to commit slight. iinprudencies which have nevertheless lasting effects, and then one day she runs down all in a moment, and everybody who kue\r her 13 siirprified. That run down wife and mother is a prototype .of " Woman, the Martyr." There ate thousands of her in Australia, there are thousands of her in all stages, there are dcorea of thousands of the woman martyrs yet to be, now careless children. What are the causes of these common collapses ? Partly over-work, partly anxiety, but mainly and in nearly every case, functional derangement. Warner's Safe Cure will be found an infallible specific for all the ilia common to women. The caso of Mrs Mary Ann Außtin of Hamilton (Vie), is quite sufficient proof of this statement. Mrs. Austin, writing on Deo. 3rd, 1891, My*:—' For twonty years I was a sufferer .from a complicated and serious affection Of the kidneys ahd liver. I have had medical: attendance from dootors in Melbourne and alio in the country, and have taken all kinds of nedicines, many of Which- togtainedTmtroUryv whiclr^aestrdyed my teeth* in* in -fbtketi. ■•' ways-injured my Bwtmn.^Ndfr'ohe' bf-'them-cKd me any* goofc . i TW-doot^ t i*atiVecEil!i(B V( td > tihdergo an op^ralidni'bdt'r' would not, Knowing full well that rshodld never recover from iU-ifl^J ■uffered on year after year. My constitution was shattered. My urine contained, a .large percentage of albumen and Bediment, and micturating was attended with great pain ; whilst down my back and left aide the pains were almost unbearable. Soon after coming to Hamilton my husband got one of your pamphlets, and after reading several testimonials from prominent men and women, who had received good and lasting benefit from Safe Cure, be advised me to use it. Before I had taken' many bottles I felt a decided change for the better, and greatly improved. I had" been ill for so long tha I knew I would not get quite better all at once. I continued its use, and was pleased to notice that I was growing stronger and stronger ey«y day. lam now able to attend to my household duties and enjoy life. I am fOlij^eonVinoed that but for Warner's Safe Cure I 'would be in my grave."

tho greatest of pleasure to testify to the I good effects of your wonderful Clements Tonic. My complaint was indigestion accompanied by heartburn and windy spasms, which >vere very painful, leaving me very weak, unfitting me for attending to my household duties. I got one of your pamphlets from out. storekeeper, road its oontentsj and Of people who had been ; onrcd-by faking Clements Tonic, hope sprang up in my breast and I determined to. give it a., trial, I .got -some of it and its effects has proved really wonderful, I also give It to uijy children when anything is the matter with them, in fact 1 keep it as a family medicine. When any of our children complain I at once consult . your boblc,which:jußt states their case, two or three doses puts them all right. I recommend it to all my friends. — I remain, yours truly, D. M'Loake, Wakefield, 2s. Z.
