fact Is that no business clemands quicker

whom I had coached as far as I had time,
to pull down or ease up on the guy ropes
according lo Ihe signals 1 gave. Well,
I had an arrangement on that should give
the people a little sne.-tacular buslne-s
This consisted of a rope running down
from my tight rope and held at an angle
of about fotly-flve degrees by a couple of

There are few women who are not seized with uncanny forebodings as they
approach ihe period of childbirth. They imagine some terrible trial is about to
overtake them And a trial it is to a woman whose life and strength are drained
by female diseases. But a strong and healthy woman who takes an occasional
dose o' Wme of CarduiT may hail with joy the coming of her child. Nature in
tended this great medicine for vour use at this time. You should not needlessly
endure the ‘grinding tortures of female ills. Unhealthy or weak organs make
childbirth dangerous.
WINEo'CARBII
will prepare you for the ordeal of childbirth by strengthening the organs which
make you a woman and by creating a fund of constitutional energy which makes
delivery comparatively painless. If you are an expectant mother you should take
Wine of Cardui to lessen the pain of labor and dispel the nervous terrors of preg
nancy. Thousands of women use it at this period. All druggists sell SI.OO bottles.
