THE POWER IN THE HOME.

It is a striking anomaly that the wommi who moul'ls tho mind of the' I pvospeoLive legislators of any country is not considered fit to vote for or against legislation that directly affects women and women only. Man, being

the stronger, and therefore the aore selfish animal, line decreed that the wife and the mother, shall be ciphers, except in the conduct of their households, and, whether man is right or wrong in bo doing, we challenge contradiction of the feet, even at the risk of being deemed illogical, that woman does not shine more in her simple rule nt the fireside—in the quiet abnegation of petty pleasurus—than she would in any public position, But this rolo of " household martyr" (and there are as many martyrs as there are households) can be overacted, and it generally is; not from any desire for effect on the part of the mother hersulf, hut from the force of circumstancus. In many houses in Democratic Australia the mother is the drudge of the family-her work is never overtaken, her grown up daughters practice a " fugue or op," while tho prematurely aged woman darns the stockings till her eyes are dim, or bends over the stove or the wash-tub till the usual backaches conio. Then suddenly tho martyr's machinery runs down, and the thoughtless, careless children, and the father who id continually steeped in business anxiety, discover tliat the 1 blooming mother of a few weeks ago | is invalided, perhaps helplessly. The never-ending fc'jil, the unceasing i anxiely,kas induced the terrible cata- ] loguo of ilk known as female oom» ] plaints, cases of which nro as com- , inon in Australasia as Warner's Safe j Cure, the one medicine which, lias ] acted up to its name in scores of thousands of imtatices, eud which lias < stood the test of time and disease. ] Warner's Safs Curb cures female ] i complaints. All women should note ] well the faot that it does not pay to ; trifle with any ailment, however ] simple, There is no middle course in j disease, and, in female troubles especially, you are either well or ill, Disease never stands still. You are daily better or worse. Mrs, Hannah Woulfe, of Feilding, New Zealand, tells her own story of jaundice and liver trouble, supervening the "triual female complaint," which is, unfor tunately, too often allowed to cure itself, We give Mrs. Woulfe's own words

Feuding, N.Z, Nov. 2d, 1892.Twelva monihs ago I was troui>M with jaundice and liver troubles aud consulted ut doctor, bub found no re lief. 1 went on suffering great pain, and had to lay up entirely, engaging a neighbour to do the housework and attend on me, I went to the *Vanganui Ho-pital and remained there seven weeks, but was turned out by tho doctor, saying I would do as well at home, as he could do nothing for me. When I came home i bad still to take to my bed, sometimes five days a week, Having heird of Wuruer's Sai-je Cure I thought 'I would give it a. trial. Afier taking five bottles I was completely restored to health. In fact, from tho second .bottle I rt covered steadily, and am now hale aud hearty. I hid only too happy to be able to testify tlias,
