Burton-on-Trent, the center of the

peculiar faculty of mildly intoxicating
the stranger within its .gates. The

the mildly alcoholic f runes' which arise

but the susceptible stranger finds ex

effect yhich does not wear" off 'for sev

To walk with the morning and watch Its

To drowse with the noontide, lulled on its

To lie with the night-time and dream

The old hope, the old love, would ease my

A Time When Women
Dread Diseases-Intelligent Women d 1
ttu iwiui
The "change of life" ia
the most critical period
of a woman's existence,
and the anadety felt by
women as it draws near
is not without reason.
Every woman who
neglects the care of her
health at this time in
vites disease and pain.
When her system is in
ft deranged' condition,
or she is predisposed to
apoplexy, or congestion
of any organ, the ten
dency is at this period
likely to become active
and with a host of ner-
vons irritations, make
life a burden. At this
time, also, cancers and .
tumors are more liable
to form and begin their
destructive work.
Such warning; symp
toms as sense of suffo
cation, hot flashes, head
aches backaches, dread,
of impending evil, timid-r
ity, sounds in the ears,
palpitation of the heart,
sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, const' pa-'
tion, variable appetite,
, weakness and inquie
tude, and dizziness, are
promptly heeded by in
telligent women who are ;
approaching the period
in life when woman's great change
may be expected. - .
These symptoms are all just so many
calls from nature lor help. The nerves
are crying" out for assistrnce and the
cry should be heeded in time.
