One day last week Mr. Young

foot by a rattlesnake. There was
a mark on his foot by one tush
j ftln ut an inch 1-ong, mid about
threesfourths from that there was
a little hole mado by the end of
the other tush, which he showed
me. Ho said it bled some but tho
gash was not deep, lie said he
cut the snake’s head off or mashed
it to pieces and then took a piece,
split it open and applied it to the
place, and it actually drew all tho
poison out, which could he seen as
it wa's coming, lie also drank a
little dewberry wine and got well
at once. tic said it did not make
him Very sick. Bo yon see that
there is a remedy for snake bites
other than corn juice. Isn’t that
good for us poor folks who can’t
get $2.00 to givu for a gallon?
Thank God for the cheaper and bet-
ter remedy. Meetinghouse folks
can he cured of -make bites now

church for drunkennes.
1 heard the Rev. Edward L.
of a (Stephens, who lived and died in
coffin | White county, tell of a man he
knew once who sworo off from
drinking in the year 1848 for life
unless in case of snake biles. In
four weeks afterwards Mr. Steph
ens was riding by tho sworn off
man’s house and saw him roaming
about through briar thickets and
grassy places and when the
preacher asked him what he meant
he said, “1 am hunting, a snake”
What for, have you seen one?” en
quired the preacher. “No, but
I am starving for a dram and I
have got to lie snake bitten before
1 can get it. 1 thought this would
t)o a good place to get bitten.”
So you see how it is. Some
men had rather take their cbanc-
ces for life with the poison of
snake infused in their system
to do without their dram.

’ Eight months ago I was bo ill >
that I was compelled to lio or pit
down nearly all the time. My
stomach was bo weak and upset
that I could keep nothing on it
and I vomited frequently. I .
could not urinate without great
pain and I coughed bo much that
my throat and lungs were raw
and sore. Tho doctors pro
nounced it Bright’s disease and
others said it was consumption.
It mattered little to me what
they called it and I had no de
sire to live. A sister visited me
from St. Louis and asked me if
I had ever tried Wine of Cardui.
I told her I had not and she
bought a bottle. I believe that
it saved my life. Ibelievemany
women could save much suffer
ing if they but knew of its value.
Don’t you want freedom from
pain? Take Wine of Cardui
and make one supreme effort to-
be well. You do not need to he
a weak, helpless sufferer. Yon
can have a woman’s health and
do a woman's work in life. Why
not Secure a bottle of Wine of
Cardui 1 from your druggist to
day ?
