STOMACH MISERY
<Jet Rid of That Sourness, Gas and
Indigestion.
When your stomach is out of order
or run down, your food doesn’t digest,
it ferments in your stomach and forms
gas, sourness, heartburn, foul breath,
pain at pit of stomach and many other
miserable symptoms.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets will give joy
ful relief in five minutes; if taken regu
larly for tw r o weeks they will turn your
flabby, sour, tired out stomach into a
sweet, energetic, perfect working one.
You can’t be very strong and vigor
ous if your food only half digests. Your
appetite will go and nausea, dizziness,
biliousness, nervousness, sick head
ache and constipation will follow.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are small
and easy to swallow and are guaran
teed. Sold by druggists everywhere
and will banish indigestion and any
or all of the above symptoms or money
back.
50 cents a large box. Booklet,
“Booth’s Famous People” and test
samples of Mi-o-na free from Booth’s
Mi-o-na, Dept. 6, who also fill mail
orders.

CEO. W. NOBLE, LakwWe BuUdlng, Chicago. IK,
“It may be that Benny is living, Mrs.
Craig, Vera said quickly.
“I ain’t got any hopes of that. I've
been down on my knees at the door, a
listenin’ an’ callin’ my boy, w’henever
Craig was out of the house, an’ I
ain’t heard so much as a groan or a
breath.”
“He may be unconscious, but still
alive. Let us find out right away. The
door must be broken down.”
They went to the house, Rob picking
up an axe as they passed the wood
pile. The shed room door, was fas
tened with a chain and pad-lock, but a
few blows with the blunt end of the
axe burst loose the hinges and opened
the door. Mrs. Craig rushed in and
flung herself down by the pallet on
which lay the little motionless form.
"Oh, he’s dead; he’s dead! she wail
ed. “He ain’t breathin’ an’ he’s all
cold and white.”
Vera had unbarred and opened the
window shutter. She came and knelt
by the pallet and examined the boy.
His face wore the still, calm mask
of death, his hands were icy cold, but
his limbs were not stiff and there was
a slight warmth under the arms. She
put her ear to his breast and detected
a faint beating of the heart.
“He is not dead, Mrs. Craig,” she
said laying a reassuring hand on the
bowed shoulder of the woman. “Hi»
heart is beating; he has concussion of
the brain, I think, and I have read that
a person, whose brain w r as stunned
by a blow, might lie for days as if
dead, and then recover. Take heart;
we will have a doctor to him in a short
while, and, meantime, ’we’ll tTo what
we can —cover him warmly and rub
him with a stimulant and put a hot
iron to his feet.”
“I’ll go after the doctor,” Will Had
den said. “As I come back, I’ll bring
Lela. I ’spose there ain’t any danger
of Craig’s coming back.”
“I don’t b’lieve he’ll ever come
back,” Mrs. Craig declared. “He’s too
soared he’ll be arrested. He’s got
money with him —a good big roll —
he always carried it in his pocket.
I’m pow’ful glad he ain't to hang. He’s
my little Mamie’s father, an’ he used
to be a good man —till the devil got in
him.”
An hour later, Benny was lying in
a front room in his sister’s bed. He
was still unconscious, but his breath
ing was stronger, and his face looked
less like death. His body and limbs
had been rubbed with “Number Six” —
an old fashioned, powerful stimulant
of which Mrs. Craig had kept a bottle
for many years. He lay as if peace
fully sleeping, anxiously watched by
Vera and Rob. His mother hung over
him, praying half audibly at times.
The weather had changed. Clouds
obscured the newly-risen moon, the
growl of thunder presaged a storm.
“Will the weather hinder the doc
tor’s coming?” asked Vera of Rob,
while Mrs. Craig was quieting her
little girl in the next room.
“No, indeed;” he answered. “The
Doc —that’s what everybody calls him
—is used to takin’ weather of all
kinds —swimmin’ creeks and rldin’ in
snow and hail. He’ll- be here, now
pretty soon.”
The night grew darker, the lightning
flashed incessantly; the thunder sound
ed nearer. Vera saw the eyelids of the

unconscious boy, twitch slightly, once
or twice.
Suddenly, a terrific thunder bolt
shook the house. A moment of in
tense stillness succeeded. Stunned by
the shock and dazed by the vivid flash,
no one was noticing the white face on
the pillow. They were startled to
hear a faint voice, say: “Mammy.”
The boy’s eyes were open. They
found his mother’s face. She was
bending over him in an ecstacy of joy,
saying: “My lamb! my precious!
Thank the Lord Jesus, you’ve spoke
to mother once more.”
He smiled feebly as she kissed him,
then a hunted look came into his eyes.
“Where’s he?” he whispered.
“He’s gone,” answered his mother.
“He’ll never trouble you no more,
honey.”
Vera brought a cup of water, and
Benny drank a little of it eagerly. A
few minutes later, he drank some milk.
He was resting quietly, with half
closed eyes, when the doctor entered,
his shaggy beard sprinkled with rain,
his rugged, weather-beaten face, re
deemed by a pair of keen intelligent
eyes, in whose depths, a kindly humor
lurked.
He examined the boy's head care
fully, scrutinizing the contusion on
one side through a magnifying lens.
“I find no fracture of the skull,” he
said. “Concussion of the brain pro
duced the stnpor. It would probably
have ended in death if he had lain
unattended much longer. The shock
of the thunder bolt helped to rouse
him. I have known an electric bat
tery to do the same. He may get
well, right along, unless there has
been lesion of the brain and a con
siderable hemorrhage, which I hope,
is not the case. I shall stay with him
tonight and w'atch his symptoms. He
must be kept perfectly quiet—no visi
tors. They’ll be coming out of curios
ity, sympathy and what not. Keep
them out —old and young. Yarb doc
tors and psalm singers. They’d soon
talk and sing the boy into his coffin.”
The storm had passed as quickly as
it came. Will Hadden arrived with
Lela. She was full of joy at the news
that her brother might live and over
flowing with gratitude to Vera. She
blamed herself bitterly, that in her ex
citement, when she first came up with
Will, she had failed to tell him that
she had left her rescuer in peril.
"I told him, though, as soon as we
had rode a little way,” she said, “and
he 'lowed right off that I must get
down and go on to Mr 3. Wiggins,
whilst he went back to help you. There
Rob came up, and they went back to
gether. I am sure thankful they got
here in time.”
At ten o’clock, the lonely old house
was as quiet, as though it had never
been the scene of an exciting drama.
Benny was sleeping; the doctor seated
by a dim lamp was greedily devouring
the book Vera had used that day as
a pretext for speaking to Lela. Will
Hadden and Lela had appointed them
selves as nurses for the night, having
persuaded Mrs. Craig to lie down and
try to sleep. Vera had said good night
with a promise to come the following
afternoon to see if her services should
be needed. She and Rob were on their
way home, she riding mare Meg and
he walking beside her in the stillness
of the moon-lighted, rain-sweetened
night. The experience of the day had
drawn them nearer together. She felt
that he had probably saved her life,
and he had the thrilling sense of hav
ing been of service to the woman he
loved with the ardor of his young, ro-
WISHED FOE DEATH
Terrible thing to be so sick, that
death would come as a welcome re
lief from suffering!
How much, then, must one be thank
ful for a medicine that relieves such
misery and brings one into a less des
perate state of mind.
Cardui, Woman’s Relief, has done
this for many women, and may be ex
pected to do so for many more.
Thousands of ladies have written
to tell about their suffering, and how
it was relieved by the use of Cardui.
Among this long list of letters writ
ten, stands forth Mattie Campbell, of
Ratcliff, Texas, who says: “Two years
ago my health was bad. I suffered
untold misery. I ached all over. Life
was a burden to me. At times I
wished for death, to end my suffering.
“At last, I decided to try Cardui.
I took one bottle and it helped me.
I took 12 bottles more and now I can
say that Cardui has stopped my suffer
ing and made life worth living.
“I would not be placed back where I
was—not for this whole world rolled
at my feet.”
Try Cardui. It contains not one
grain of dangerous mineral ingredi
ents, hut is purely vegetable, and a
safe, reliable remedy for young and old.
Sold everywhere.

No complications retarded Benny's
recovery. In a week, he was able to
be up; in another week he was quite
able to enjoy the cake and turkey that
graced his sister’s wedding. Lela Bond
and Will Hadden were quietly married
one evening, the only guests beside the
Wiggins family, being Will’s fat, big
hearted mother, who was delighted at
having gained a daughter, and the
minister who joined the pair— the

had united Lela’s father and mother
nineteen years before.
