Just a few minutes of your
time, dear lady, and you will learn
here some facts of interest and
value—more important to you than
the bargains on other pages of this
paper.
I want you to buy and take
home today a dollar size bottle of
Wine of Cardui. If necessary, save
it out of your shopping money—but
get it.
Do not hesitate—why should
you? What can be more important
to you than health?
The benefit Wine of Cardui
will be to you, if you suffer from
any of the disorders or diseases so
common to your sex, is something
that can hardly be expressed in
words.
Thousands of women have
written enthusiastic letters, telling
of the success of Cardui in relieving
their periodical pains, such as head
ache, backache, sideache, falling
feelings, straining, irregularity, diffi
culty in walking, weakness, ner
vousness, peevishness, and general
debility.
It acts as a gentle tonic on the
womanly organs and constitution,
giving sick women a new lease of
life and the beauty of strength and
health.

Cardni Gave Relief
Mount Vernon, Ga., Feb. 4, 1906.
I was troubled with female disease for nine (9) years. The
doctors first calied it “nervous prostration,” then “change of life,
and finally “catarrh of the womb,” but no matter what they called
it. they could give me no relief. At last 1 decided to take Wine of
Cardui. I have now taken three (3) bottles and can say that my
health is better than it has been in nine years. Before I began to
take Cardui I could not eat anything, could hardly sleep, my back
and hips would ache, and then I would be nervous and I was trou
bled with the whites. Once a month I would have to go to bed for
two or three days. Since taking Cardui I do not have to stay in
bed more than half a day, and all my troubles have gone. I have
praised Cardui to all my friends, and shall continue to do so. I wish
every suffering lady would try it. LIZZIE MATTHEWS.

ELAM IN CUSTODY.
j Well. Lomacita. here I am. But let me i

j ing to hatch up a plan for wiggling out
| of the trouble you got me into.
You see. it’s this way: After some

I was a far greater offender than I. So l
(thought if I could iust round him up and

i would surely forgive me for unconsc’ous- I

tent, but you can’t very well get along j
without a heart.
Well. I heard that Elam was going lo '
j pass through our town, so T employed I

a coil of rope. I have no doubt lie would j
• have gone through the train, hud it been I
j necesary. but it wasn't. Elam came out >
and walked up and down the platform, j
j swinging the aforementioned umbrella i
: ami keeping a sharp lookout for pretty
( girls: and thus he fell an easy victom |
I to the cowboy’s skillful band. He is j
! now in safe custody, and I return here- j

A THANKSGIVING SKETCH.
Mary Winn looked out on her storm- I
i beaten chrysanthemums with odd sympa- ;
thy. The last flowers of the garden, they j
; were symbolic of her own forlorn condi- i
tion. Alone she lived in t’.ie old home;
, that had once been gay with tiie laughter j
young voices, but time had brought ;
changes to pass. I
v,.*e by one her children had died until
only her youngest was left, and he lived
in a distant city. Rare had been the op-
: portunities when lie could leave Iiis busi
ness to visit his old home, and since h's
marriage, three years past, she had seen
him but twice. At first he had urged her
to come and live with them, but of late
months there had been no letters and in
bitterness of spirit she felt that she was
forgotten and looked with cold resent
ment in the pictured face of the fair
young wife who had supplanted her in
her boy's heart. It was hard that David
should cease to care for the mother who
had loved him passionately before lie was
born because of a stranger whom he had
known for so orlef a time.
Tiie wind came bleakly through bare;
trees, the rain recommenced and lhe|
dreary night set in.
