A Wife's Requirements.

Of course, for her personal adorn- ment, a wife will rarely fail to (campaign at intervals for more now clothes, and perhaps soine additional Jewellery, too. But despite making a liberal allowance for theso require- ments, no husband can be regarded as fully doing his duty unices he also keeps n supply of Pinkettes in the home for his wife's occasional use.

It is when she is liverish or - tempered, complains of headache, biliousness, has a fürred tongue, a bitter taste in the mouth, that the wife needs Pinkettes. And they are just as good for the husband under like circumstances.

In short, Pinket- tek are laxative perfection for both sexes, gently yet surely correcting constipation, alding, digestion, and keeping the system clean, healthy, and in regular condition.
