Dear brother: 1 now take great
pleasure in answering your 3!
letters I received yesterday and ,
to day and was more than glad
to hear frm you. This leaves me
as well as usual, feeling fine &
I sure hope it will find you all
well and having a good time.
Your Jeters were of old date but
1 was just as glad to get them.
They were dated Oct. 28, Nov.
2, 1918, and Jan. 1, 1919. The 2
that came in Oct. come while 1
was ip the hospital and the one
of Jan. Ist was marked ‘wound
ed’. Don’t know where they got
it that I was wounded for I sure
have never been. You asked me
in one of your letters if I meant
I was using one of the big guns
No, the machine guns are only
’small guns.-They shoot the size
J cartridges as the rifle 1 had at
Camp Gordon, but shoot so fast
j you couldn’t count them. Each
squad, about eight men, has a
|iii.4CUi.it: gun aiiu m time ot ngu
, ting an automatic pistol. I can
'explain it more when 1 getback
'home. No, I never got but one
of your pictures and you said
in the letter with the one I got
That you had sent me one be
fore, but I never got it. You
jsaid that mama said for me to
! try to dodge the bullets, fhey
Iwero pretty hard to dodge. It
vas just luck that brought me
through. I lay out in an open
field for about one hour with
machine gun bullets falling a
, round my head so fast I could
not count them and I believe it
come within six inches of my
head. I could hear them whiz
zing and heai them hit the old
md right at mv head. I was
faying flat on my stomach and
trv'ng to get lower, ha. ha! \\ e
had done quit fighting in trench
es when I was on the front —it
vas just open warfare, iou
said in one of your letters that
papa said for me to take as
good care of myself as I could
and try to get back home for he
sure did miss me. I have sure
took just as good care of my
self as I could and I have had
real good health all the time on
ly when I had influenza, and 1
know he misses me and all the
j balance do too. 1 miss you all
1 and all the kind deeds you all
, were continually doing for me
but it is only a matter of time
I until I will be back with you &
1 am sure we will enjoy life bet
ter than ever before. You said
in one of your letters you had
me $157.91. It sure makes me
; feel good that 1 have such good
parents and brothers an I sis
i lers. Such are worth one trying
to get back to. but I had much
rather you would use it for an>
j thing any of you need it for,
! Hat is what i sent it home for,
for you all to use, and I never
helped make the crop and will
n; t feel right to use the money.
I could send home fifty dollars
now and have plenty to run me
u I were where I could send it
and it be safe, but it is too far
to risk it by open mail. And do
rot worry about me not coming
with that sls brandy. 1
will come with too much, ha,
hai Guess papa is helping un
cle Sol kill hogs, seemed like

er meeting if it is the Lords will

carry our loved ones to church

She Is a Well, Strong Woman and Praises Cardui For
Her Recovery.

man, of this place, says; “After the
birth of my little girl.. .my side com
menced to hurt me. I had to go back
to bed. We called the doctor. He
treated me...but I got no better. I
got worse and worse until the misery
was unbearable.. .1 was in bed for
three months and suffered such agony
that I was Just drawn up in a knot...
I told my husband if he would get
me a bottle of Cardul I would try it...
I commenced taking it, however, that
evening I called my family about
me... for I knew I could not last
many days unless I had a change for

and I am still here and am a well,
strong woman, and I owe my life to
Cardui. I had only taken half the
bottle when I began to feel better.
The misery In my side got less... I
continued right on taking the Cardui
until I had taken three bottles and I
did not need any more for I was well
and never felt better In my life... I
have never l.ad any trouble from that
day to this.”
