KER SECRET TROUBLES.

The Unknown Trial* Which a Woman Endured Without Com plain hr-Why They Vanished. Near the close of one of the most trying of the few hot days of the present year a pale, care-worn woman Wight have been seen at the window of her dwelling apparently in a condition of complete exhaustion. Her efforts to meet the accumulated duties of her household had been great but unsuccessful, while the care of a sick child, whose wails could eyen then be heard, was added to her otherwise overwhelming troubles. Nature had done much for her, and in her youthful days she had been not only beautiful but the possessor of health such as is seldom seen. But home and family duties and the depressing cares which too often accompany them had proven greater than her splendid , r^ n ffth,and she felt at that moment not only that life was a burden but that death would be a grand relief. This is no unusual experience. It is, in fact, a most common, everyday occurrence, and a great prayer is constantly ascending from thousands of homes for deliverance from the deadly power which is enslaving so many wives, mothers, and daughters. And yet these duties of life must be met No woman can afford to turn aside from the proper care of her home and the ones who are committed to her care, although in doing these duties she may sacrifice her health, and possibly life itself. The experience of one who successfully overcame such trials, and yet retained health and all the it brings, is thus told by Bev. William Watson, Presiding Elder of the Methodist Episcopal Church, residing at Watertown, N. Y. He said:

My wife became completely run down through overwork and care of a sick member of our household, and I entertained serious apprehensions as to her future. She was languid, pale, utterly exhausted, without appetite, and in a complete state of physical decline. And yet she did not, could not, neglect her- duties. I have seen her about the house, trying courageously to care for the ones she loved when I could tell, from the lines upon her face, how much she was suffering. At times she would rally for a day or two and then fall back into the state of nervous exhaustion she felt before. Her head pained her frequently, her hody wnm becoming bowed by pain, and all hope or enjoyment in life seemed departed. What to do we could not tell. I resolved, however, to bring back her life and vitality if possible, and to this end began to treat her myself. To my great relief her system has been toned up, her strength restored, her health completely recovered, and wholly by the use of Warner’s Tippecanoe, which I regard as the greatest tonic invigorator and stomach remedy that has ever been discovered. I was led to use it the more readily as I had tested the health-restoring properties of Warner’s Safe Cure in my own person, and I, therefore, knew that any remedy Mr. Warner might produce would be a vat uableone. I have since recommended both Warner’s Tippecanoe and Warner's Safe Cure to many of my friends, and I know several Doctors of Divinity as well as numerous laymen who are using both with great benefit.” If all the overworked and duty-driven women of America could know of the experience above-described, and act upon the same, there can be little doubt that much of the pain, and most of the depressing influences of life, might be avoided. Such truths are too valuable to remain unknown.

Be cheerful; do not brood over fond hopes unrealized until a chain, link by link, is fastened on each thought and wound around the heart. Nature intended you to be the fountain spring and cheerfulness of social life, and not the traveling monument of despair and melancholy.
