Thompson's Rarosma is not only a won derful kulnev, liver and bladder cure, but has a particular advantage as a remedy for Chronic Ke male Weakness, Palpitation of the Heart, bearing-down sensations, Nervous Debility, Leucorrhrea or Whites, and Dropsical Swellings. Its peculiar ad vantage lies in the fact that it is both a female regulator and kidney, liver and bladder cure. The womb is situated back of and very close tothe bladder. A woman having any pain or distress in the back or side, at once attributes it to female weak ness when many times her trouble is en tirely from the kidneysor bladder. Hence a woman making this grave mistake wil! find a sure remedy in Barosma, for whether she is suffering from womb dis order or any disease of the kidneys, liver and bladder, Barosma will cllect a per manent cure. For this two-fold reason Barosma is the best woman's remedy on the market. Thompson's Dandeloin aud Mandrake Pills should lie used with the Barosma, for the liver and constipation. They are purely vegetable aud do not gripe. Wat Losing Control of Her Mini.
