SWEET MINDED WOMEN.
So great is the influence 01 a snai mindedwoiraii on those around her that it is :,lmost boundless. It is to her that friends come in seasons ot sorrow and illness for help and comfort. One soothing- touch of her kind- , f ly hand works wonders in the feverish ~ child; a few words let fall from her <- lips in the ears of a suffering- sister do much to ease the load of grief. Ine j< husband comes home worn out with the pressure of business, and feeling :0 irritable with the world in general; <] but when he enters the cosy room and , j sees the blaze of the bright fire, and : p meets his wife's smiling face, he sue- i E cumbs to the soothing influences . b which act as a balm of Gilead to his j J wounded spirit. We are all wearied ! E in combatting with the stern realities jc] of life. The schoolboy flies h-om the j 1 taunts of his companions to find solace j a in his mother's smile; the little one I 1 full of grief with its own large j 1 troubles finds n haven of rest in its !j; mother's breast: and so one might go j on with instances of the influence of j a noble minded woman. ( Realising the happy influence that \ one woman may have, Mrs Annie t | Debering, Black Flat, near Oakleigh, { Victoria, gives advice from her personal experience that will certainly give hope and comfort to many poor sufferers. She says: "In 1889 I took very •> ill. I was not able 1o stand or do I' anything-. 1 consulted four diiVerent N doctors, also a Chinese doctor, who j told me 1 would drop down dead, as 1 j had heart and liver disease. I still | ' kept getting worse, and used to fall ' down, so after two years of suffering; I gave myself up to die, when some I one sent me one of your books and I h sent and got some Warner's Safe Cure. The first bottle made me sleep, and 1 was quite well again after taking- * about sixteen bottles. I have reconi- ( mended it to several oT my friends, , and in all cases where it was used t it did good. I cannot speak too high- \ ly of Warner's Safe Care." !■■■■ ■!! ■[■■in iiiiii iniiirn
