Sallow skin, sunken cheeks, pimply face, hollow ej es, lifeless lips these are repellanl. And they can nearly always be traced to the one cause womanly weakness or dtsease. Almost all the ills of womankind are cured if you put the feminine organism into healthy, vigorous condition. All sickness of women seems to involve there delicate organs and so no matter what the b mptoms may be it is best to look there for the real trouble.
