All Over
"I wa3 in a dreadfully run
down condition ” says Mrs. Chas.
L. Lacroix, of Montgomery, La.
"I suffered a great deal of pain.
I was in misery all over. I
could not sit up and I could not
lie down. I couldn’t sleep and
at times I would have dreadful
vomiting spells. The aches and
pains seemed to cover my whole
body.
"One night my husband
brought me Jiome six bottles of
Cardiff and I began to take it.
I could tell that I was improv
ing from the first bottle, but I
kept on taking the medicine, for
I knew that I needed a tcnic
that would build me up and
strengthen me where I was
weak and run-down. That is
exactly what Cardiff did for me.
After I had finished the six bot
tles I felt fine.
"I feel truly thankful for what
Cardiff has done i’or me, for I
could not have gone on living in
the desperate condition I was in.

induced him to pay $1,250 for aj
pair of glasses that he could have
bought at any ten-cent store for a
dime.
Perhaps Chapman should have
been more wary, but then he was
victimized by a pair that certainly
knew their glasses.
Chapman’s eye trouble and his
prosperity are well known ■in War
ren county. Two strangers appear
ed at his house Saturday morning
and one of them asked him if he
did not need glasses. This stranger
was a self-styled optometrist.
The farmer certainly dia need
some glasses. The stranger made
a cursory examination and stepped
back aghast. Chapman’s eyes were
certainly in an awesome plight. He
jnust see the best specialist avail
able and at the earliest possible
minute. This stranger, by sheerest
coincident, had a New York special
ist right out in his car. If only he
could be persuaded to give Chapman
the necessary examination and pre
scription perhaps everything could
be arranged and the eyes mended.
The “New York specialist” was
averse to the examination but he
just loved persuasion, and so with
enough coaxing he agreed to
examine and diagnose. He did. He
prescribed glasses. The glasses were
easily produced. Didn’t that make
Mr. Chapman’s eyes feel better?
Chapman egreed that it did.
Then Chapman would not mind
paying $1,250 for the relief. Mr.
Chapman did mind, however, and
he minded vehemently.'
He had only S3OO to his name!
He did have some more money in
the bank at Norwood, however.
That artful persuader who had per
suaded the New York specialist to
do some examining now £ot to work
on Chapman, with the result that
Chapman went to Norwood and re
turned with the necessary $1,250.
So the fakirs took the twelve
hundred dollars and bade Mr. Chap
man a courteous and kindly good
bye. They left no forwarding ad
dress.

Fi’iends of Mr. John Cook, a well
known young citizen of the county,
regret to know of the serious acci

in a rocking chair on a coop of
chickens, when the chair became un

the wagon. He was found some time
leter and given prompt medical as

dislocated and late reports from his

The improved Pan-Am.motor oil is espe
cially refined from paraffin-base crudes to
stand up under greater heat and friction. It is
toucher; adhering to cylinder walls and bear

of this tougher oil below that

Both of these better motor prod
