Which have been described In this newspaper, throw light on how people lived In Nippur at about the time Adam and Km were heretofore supposed to be living In the Harden of Bolen. "The Importance of this find to our elv lllaatton and the liesring It has on the history of the world atl Its religion Is great," sold Professor Hllprwht to-day.

Just think of ten years of agony with WINE** CARDUI within her reach as it is within yours to-day. She might have been cured ten years ago. You can be cured immediately. Mrs. Tatam's experience is only one instance of how many women let their ailments run on indefinitely and unnecessarily. Wine of Cardui is a sure relief for all the ills that torture women to day. It is a quick and permanent relief for falling of the womb, for leucorrhoea. (or disor dered menstruation.
