IS WOMAN SUPERIOR TO MAN 1

It is a debatable question whether, in the hours of affliction or adversity, woman exhibits more fortitude than man. As is somewhat natural^the partisans of either sex will not hear anything to their disadvantage from the opposite. Almost numberless instances could be given of the heroic fortitude displayed by both men and women in hours of suffering or danger. But one will suffice, and it is that of Mrs Susan Shute, of 351, Fitzroy-st., Fitzroy, Melbourne, who, before she took Bile Beans for Biliousness, had borne the most acute pains of rheumatism with a resignation thnt men would do well to imitate. This is her story as related to a reporter of the "Melbourne Mercury":—For four years I suffered so severely from rheumatism that frequently I was scarcely able to move. I could not do my housework, and as I am advancing in ! years, the doctor told me that I was [incurable, as my kidneys were in a j bad way. This almost broke me down, 1 and I gave up medical attendance. For several months past my neighbours lhave been taking- Bile Beans and | greatly benefiting thereby. This caused me to look to them for relief, ; and I accordingly .commenced to take them. After a short course, I felt better, and continued with them, and the result was that in six weeks time the rheumatism entirely left me much to my astonishment. I now feel throughly well and free from pain, and look on life as worth living. For influenza, colds and rheumatism, anld all ailments such aa indigestion, constipation, headaches, etc., you cannot obtain a better or surer remedy than Bile Beans,, which are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at thirteen pence half-penny, per box. After rea fling1 Mrs Shute's story of suffering surely we must admit that men are not superior to women when it 'becomes a question of enduring pafn with fortitude.
