What is Life Witnout Health.

You may have an elegant home, you may have plenty of money and all that would seam to make life enjoyable, but there is no happiness, without the great essential, HEALTH. Neither wealth, position nor opportunity, can compensate for the absence of health. There is no degree of beauty, intelligence, or amicability, which can compensate for a diseased body; indeed there is no beauty, intelligence or amicibility, which poor health will not undermine. It is a most distressing thought to contemplate, that Medical Statistics show that over one half of the women of this vast country are suffering from serious chronic ailments, peculiar to there sox. No wonder the conscientious woman has reasons other than selfish ones, for feeling that poor health is the saddest of misfortunes which could come to her. She knows she cannot be ill without casting a shadow over the home, that she would if, she could, keep always bright; yet with that fortitude, which only true womanhood possesses, she uncomplainingly suffers on, day after day, yes, year after year, with the foolish hope that nature will sometime remedy her trouble and restore her health. With the great love for beauty, which is inherent in her sex, she with paints, powders and lotions, tries in vain to cover up the deep lines and defects, which the cruel work of disease has wrought in her beautiful face. There is but one foundation for beauty and that is health. Health produces a mind teeming with wit; the bright sparkling eye, the roßy cheek. With health, the whole world is full of joy.Bunshine and happiness; with disease, it is a dark, gloomy, prisonlike abode. Then why suffer from diseases which cause so much unhappiness, when the noble work of Dr. Smith, Chicago's ablest and most successful specialist, should convince the most skeptical that nine tenths of the diseases pecular to woman, can be thorough and permanently cured? Dr. Smith has given the best efforts of his life to the study and treatment of obstinate and lingering ; diseases pecular to woman and has been successful in effecting permanent cures, others fill. No lady suffering from any disease peculiar ta her sex, should neglect the opportunity to consult Dr. Smith on bis next visit to Rensselaer, on Tuesday, March s3rd, in private Parlors of the MAKEEVER HOUSE.
