NEW YORK.—The Blblo con
demns evolution, science condemns
evolution, but In eplte ot this
hypothesis persists, according to
William Jennings Bryan, because
evolution “tickles tbe vanity of the
egotist" and “is the laslest Inao-
tlon.”
Darwinism was again the target
for Bryan’s oratorical sarcasm at
Calvary Baptist efbureb, where he
spoke on “Science vs. Evolution/
under the direction of the National
Bible Institute.
If a man believes in evolution,
according to Mr. Bryan, he will
spend bis Sunday mornings In front
of tho animal cage* at the Zoo,
speculating on how far he has
come. Instead of going to church,
seeking to know how far he (bAf
yet to* go.
“The natural and logical tend
ency ot evolution is to produce
agnosticism and agnosticism is
simply a way station on the road
to atheism/’ he declared.
“It 1> my purpose to show yon
how religious faith and Christian
ideals are being undermJnded by
teachers who believe that man is
a descendant from the brutes, and
who, in our public schools, are
sbstltuting the Darwinian mypoth-
esie for the Bible accont of man’s
creation.
“Religion has no quarrel with
science/' he said, “because real
science Is classified knowledge.
Nothing can be scientific that Is
not true."

D OWN in the rich fanning belt of Southern Illinois
lives Mrs. Mary Alice Larrison, about 40 miles
from Terre Haute, who one day wrote a letter
telling of the benefit she had received from Cardui,
the woman's tonic. One of our lady investigators,
being in that neighborhood, was detailed to make a
little journey to her home and learn some further facts
about her use of the medicine. Her report follows:
Casey, Illinois, where Mrs. Larrison lives, is a
picturesque little town on the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Twelve miles from Casey the Larrison farm lies amid
wide-spreading fields dotted with bursting bams,
cribs of corn, herds of fine white cattle and hogs.
We drove out to the farm—to a white house
with green window shuttersand a wide porch. A little
terrier, followed by two spotted pups, greeted us and
summoned Mr. Larrison. We were cordially invited
in, and 1 introduced myself to Mrs. Larrison. She
said she had been expecting a rich aunt, and when
ever she saw a stranger coming imagined the visitor
j might be the long-looked-for relative. I hastened to
j assure her how I regretted that she should be disap
pointed again, since I had only called to inquire about
her use of Cardui and to take some pictures, if she
would permit, to print with her statement She re
plied that, in this case, she was as glad to see me as
if I had been the wealthy "lost” aunt herself.
Some twenty-odd years ago, Mr. and Mrs, Lar
rison bought the farm on which they now live. It has
been the childhood home of their fourteen children,
the youngest of which is 14 years old.' Mrs. Larrison
told me that care'for her large family had called for
millions of steps “and many comers to turn to give
them what they needed,” but happily she had come
through it all with sound, robust health, due partly,
so she said, to Cardui.
About sixteen years ago when oil was struck in
Clark County, Illinois, wells were drilled on the
Larrison place. While they did not come in gushers,
or even yield a heavy flow, they have withstood
steady pumping for sixteen years, and probably will
hold out many years longer. I went out into the
backyard with Mrs. Larrison and examined and
photographed one pump which was pounding away.
She pointed out several others, out in the fields,
some of which we visited. These not only yield a
substantial income to the Larrisons, but one famishes
natural gas for kitchen fuel, a great convenience.
The back yard was full of chickens, and out on
the pasture I saw upwards of 100 hogs. Some dozen
Dr more big porkers were enclosed in a barnyard lot
for special feeding, They were enormous. I saw
several pens ofyeHow com that was to be fed to the
hogs, and there was scarcely an ear that looked less
than a foot in length. They also had large stores of
potatoes and apples, cord after cord of furnace wood,
a room full of books and a newspaper every
day—why should they worry that it was winter,
snowing, and twelve miles from town!

What Mrs. LanrisoiTSftys
About Cardui, The Woman’s Tonic
A BOUT 20 years ago I was hfvety bad health, 1
had some nervous trouble. I was weak. I
couldn’t rest I was; never hungry, but always tired;
couldn’t sit down contented and still not able to go
)ut—a dragging, tired feeling like I had weights on
my feet, and I would give out ^
I heard of Cardui and what a help it was for
weak women. I sent for six botUes.f I had not taken
it long till 1 felt stronger. I would eat and It seemed
to help the nervous, tired feeling,' I grew stronger.
I took twelve bottles in all and fora long time I never
knew what it was to feel bad.'
When change of life began'wlth'rne^down I
went again—nervous, depressed, sick all over. I was
so weak it looked like life was ebbing out of
me.. I hurt in the lower part of my body. I felt sore
across the sides. My family was very uneasy about
me when I was down tabbed, not able to get
up. I tried medicines still I lay there. I
then remembered CardoL I sent for it, and when
I had taken one-half bottle I felt better. The family
insisted, seeing it was doing me good, so I took it
right along. Soon I was out of bed, able to go about
I owe my health to Cardui, I feel sure. I was
much benefited.
