WOMANHOOD.

Marriage, the goal of every good woman's ambition, is at best, not a surfeit of sweets. There are knobs and ‘excrescences, and queer unsightly edges to the most beautiful tree; and she who has reared a family has passed through a career of anxieties such as the superficial tlfinker cannot realise. Ah 1 the mother’s joys may be great—but her griefs are many. When Tom goes wrong, or Nelly runs away with the dancing master, and she, has to defend her erring ones against tfie cruel taunts arid passionate resentment of her husband, their father, the woman has aihard time of it. How patient shells; how fentle her submission ; how sweet her resignation 1 Bat who shall say how she suffers beneath that calm exterior ? Arriving at that period’ of life, 100, when all woman undergo that mysterious and perilous transition of physical force, known as change of life. As her past health has bien, so will she pass through the ordeal bifore her. Thousands bt women succumb because they, take no steps to secure their strength, and to fortify their system, and eradicate the effects of prior ailments. This transition period is marked by a total revolution of her life forces. All thie organs of her body are affected because 'hbr blood is changed. Her nervous system is strained ; her brain is taxed. And yet ninety-nine of such women go along with their duties in patient suffering ; or if they do complain meet with scant sympathy from those around them. However, in these times, when the laws of our being are taught to young women we olay hope that all this will be changed. In the meantime, it is gratifying to know tlie great good that is being accomplished among sick and ailing womeh, by the use of Warner’s safe cure. Among the latest testimonials to this effect, is the following : M Alfred-street, St. Leonards, East, North Shore* Sydney, N.S.W. About three ybars ago, I suffered very much from my liver and kidneys. I did riot suffer much acute pain, but I was nevertheless, not at all inclined and not fit to attend to my household affairs, suffering greatly from a dull heavy pain across my back and loins and between my shoulders, with severe headaches. 4,t the time I commenced Warner’s safe cure I was also suffering from erysipelas in my foot, which completely disappeared after I bad taken but one bottle. I took five more, and am now quite well. Mrs. Mary Wilkins. ” Now here we 1 behold a vary common state of affairs. Thousands of people are in the strait this lady descrlbesr-suffering from no acute pain, but affected by an indescribable depression, Want of energy, and depression of spirits. As a general thing, this is thought to be a matter of “ nerves,” and resort is bad to stimulants or drug tonics, only to effect temporary relief, and intensify the evil. Warner’s safe cure strikes at the root of the evil, by removing the conditions of disease, and re-establish-ing those of health. Ladies, therefore, whether maids or matrons, spinsters, widows, or motbers-in-law, may well read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest these facte, to their great profit and happiness.
