FAREWELL SERVICE.
So great is Broxton’s regret that
those connected with the Bray-Giddens
Lumber Co. will soon be moving else
where, that a farewell service will be
held at the Baptist church on next
Sunday. The estimable families rep
resenting the personnel of this firm
have so endeared themselves to citi
zens of our town that members of the
various churches and organizations
will take part in expressing our appre
ciation of all and particularly of Dr.
and Mrs. Giddens, who have been so
liberal with their time, so much help
from a material standpoint and so
willing to give help of whatever na
ture where and when it was needed
most. ,
All have been active in both church
and civic affairs and it is with regret
akin to grief that we contemplate
their move.

Nervous
hot flashes
"COME time ago when in a
very nervous, run-down
condition,” says Mrs. Martha
F. Marlow, of Broken Bow,
I Okla., "I tried numerous reme
dies to try at least to keep
going, but I could not. I was
weak and tired—just no good
at all. My back ached and I
had hot flashes until I was so
very nervous I smothered.
"I couldn’t sleep and I was
never hungry, and I kept get
ting weaker. I couldn’t stand
| on my feet. This was an un
usual condition for me as I
had been pretty strong all
along. I knew that I would
have to do something, and
that pretty soon.
"Some friend suggested that
I take Cardui, and it certainly
was a good suggestion, for
after taking one bottle I could
tell I was stronger and better.
I didn’t quit. I kept it up all
through the change and did
fine. I felt like a different
person after I began taking
Cardui”
Cardui has helped thousands
of suffering women.
