metimes causes indigestion
that leads to sick headaches,

Housework In Hot Weather
-
Hot weather brings no re
lief from housework drudgery.
If anything, woman’s work is
more trying. Overwork and
worry cause kidney trouble,
resulting in backache, sore
muscles, stiff joints, rheumatic
pains, always tired feeling and
other distressing symptoms.
Mrs. Robt. Blair, 461 S 20
St., Terre Haute, Ind., writes:
‘‘After taking Foley Kidney
Pills backache stopped and my
kidneys were restored to the
healthy normal action. I am
also free from those tired
spells and headaches and my
vision is no longer blurred.”

WHY WOMEN
SUFFER
Some do It from ignorance: some
from carelessness: some in a spirit
of martyrdom and some from a
mistaken sense of duty impelling
them to go on sacrificing them
selves for others, until they “drop
in their tracks”.
Thousands of women have learned
better; have found out that it’s
wrong to suffer from the peculiar
Ills of womanhood; because they
need not do it.
STELLA VITAE, the old-time '“Wo
man’s Relief” “Mother's Cordial”
has been helping the women of
the South to health and happiness
for half a century.
It is the prescription of a famous
old Southern doctor and has proved
successful with thousands of wo
men and young girls.
STELLA VITAE is compounded in
the laboratories of the Thacher
Medicine Co., Chattanooga, Tenn.,
and sold by all druggists at a mod
erate price. Money refunded if
the first bottle fails to help.
PALPITATION OF THE HEART!
The experience of a woman
who has successfully passed the
“changes” is valuable. This lady
tells of the “bridge that carried
her over.”
"I was In a most wretched condition, at
that moat critioal time in a woman’s life,
•the change.’ I had palpitation of the heart
and would swell and bloat in a rerv distress
ing way.
“I took five bottles of STELLA VITAE,
*nd I am happy to say that it cured me.
When I bepn I weighed only 3 08 pounds.
I now weigh 135 pounds.”—Mrs. E. M.
Bussell. N. C.
