I consider Wine of Cardui superior to an y doctor’s medicine I ever used and I know whereof I apeak. 1 suf¬ fered for nine months with suppressed menstruation which completely pros¬ trated me. Pains would shoot through my back and sides and X would have blinding headaches. My limbs would swell up and I would feel so weak I could not stand up. I naturally beyond felt discouraged for I seemed to be the help of physicians, but Wine of Cardui came as a God-send to me. I felt a change for the better within a week. After nineteen days treatment I menstruated without suffering the agonies X usually did and soon became regular and without pain. Wine of Cardui is simply wonderful and I wish that all suffering women knew ot its good qualities. Treasurer, Portland Economic League Periodical headaches tell of fe¬ male weakness. Wine of Cardui cures permanently nineteen out of every twenty cases of irregular pains menses, bearing down or any female weakness. If you are discouraged and doctors have failed, that is the best reason in the world you should try Wine of Cardui now. Remember that headaches mean female weakness.

Editor Echo :—I am spending sever¬ Hon. al weeks with my esteemed friend, James M Smith, and yesterday took ad¬ vantage of the kindness of Mr. J. D. Power to visit Lexington. There are no better or nobler people on topside of earth than the citizens of Oglethorpe county and the town of Lexington, and it is always a pleasure to meet and mingle with those old, tried and true friends. I went During my ride to Lexington over the new road leading from near Mr. Smithonia and returned home by John Jarrell’s beautiful farm. And Mr. Editor, just here I want to say that I never saw better public highways for the amount of money expended in keep¬ ing them up than Oglethorpe now boasts. Iu Spartanburg, S. C., they spend more than three times as much per mile as you do over here, and their roads are in not near so good repair as yours. The section through which 1 passed is under the control of Commissioner J. D. Power, ) and he tells.me that in many other sec¬ tions of your county the roads are in equally as good condition. This speaks well for the faithfulness and efficiency of your county board of commissioners, and they merit not only the endorse¬ ment but the gratitude of every citizen and tax payer. They are certainly the rigt men in the right place. realize The people of any section more direct benefit from the taxes that they pay to maintain public schools and highways than any other made, for all alike, rich and poor, the benefits thereof. I have always been an good roads as the back tiles of the Echo will show, and I am glad that your county has at last made a move iti this direction. If I was a citizen oi Ogle¬ thorpe I would gladly vote a one hun¬ dred thousand dollar bond issue to grade and macadamize good highways radiat¬ ing in every direction from Lexington. Respectfully, Gantt. T. Larry Smithonia, Ga., Dec. 17. A Timely Suggestion. This is the season of the year when the prudent and careful housewife replenishes her supply of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
