Thompson's H.irotm.i is not only a won derful ki.lnev, liver and bladder cure, but has a particular advantage as a remedy forChronic Female Weakness, Palpitation of the Heart, bearing-down actuations. Nervous Debility, Leucorrhcea or Whiles, aud Dropsical Swellings. Its peculiar ad vantage lies in the fact that tt is both a female regulator and kidney, liver and bladder cure. The womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder. A woman having any pain or distress in the back or side, at once attributes it to female weak ncss when many times her trouble is en tirely from the kidueysor bladder. Hence a woman making this grave mistake will find a sure remedy in ltarosma, for whether she is suffering from womb dis order or any disease of the kidneys, liv-r ami bladder, ltarosma will cllect a per manent cure. For this two fold reason Daiosma is the best woman's remedy on the market. Thompson's Dandeloin aud Mandrake Pills should lie used with the Harosma, for the liver and constipation.
