You are loved by your wife, regarded by your mistress, tolerated by your lady. You have a wife for yourself, a mistress for your house and friends, a lady for the world and society. Your wife will agree with you, your mistress will rule you, your lady will manage you. Your wife will take care of your household, your mistress of your house, your lady of appearances. If you are sick your wife will nurse you, your mistress will visit you, your lady will enquire after your health. You take a walk with your wife, a ride with your mistress, and go to a party with your lady. Your wife will share your grief, your mistress 5rour money, and your lady your debts. If you die your wife will weep, your mist¬ ress lament, and your lady wear mourn¬ ing. Which will you have ? -:o:- It is said there are two eventful periods in the life of a woman : one when she wonders whom she will have; the other when she wonders who will have her. -:o:- Speedily relieves Influenza, and is a certain cure for Cold Sweats, Fever, and Quinsy. Every householder should have a bottle. -:o:- A man doesn’t begin to be much of a liar until he owns a dog. Llanelly, Wales, July 5th, 1876. Dear Sir,—I feel it my duty to acquaint you of the great benefit: my wife and I have derived from your Stomach and Liver Pills. I was a sufferer a long time from a disordered state of liver, headache, I indigestion, etc. My wife was fearfully troubled with sickness, and ) severe pains in her side, and a great sufferer in other respects. I had two doctors to her, but your Pills did her more good than all their medicine. Your Pills have certainly set her up, and me too. I am therefore truly grateful, and shall recommend them, you may depend. Believe me, yours respectfully, JOSEPH JONES. If any of these symptoms are yours, you will fio.d a cure in the Stomach and Liver Fills. TO THE READER.—Do you know any of your friends or neighbours suffering from disease ? You will confer upon them a great boon by lending this book. 1 I! 1 i ;
