MOTHER GOMES TO
DAUGHTER’S RESCUE
When, Daughter Thought,
Every Avenue of Escape
Closed, Mother Came
to Rescue.
Louisville, Ala. —In referring to her
recent troubles, Mrs. Bessie. E. Bruce,
of this town, says: "After childbirth.
I suffered greatly with wasting, and
various womanly troubles, and was in
bed for six weeks. Half the time, I
could not move, only when I was turn
ed over by some one. Oh! how I suf
fered, no one knows.
I wiy-t told that I would have to go
through an operation, but at the time
of the operation, I was too weak to
undergo it, and I decided there was no
chance for me.
As a last resort, my mother advised
me to try Cardul, the woman's tonic,
and my husband bought me a bottle.
1 could tell from the first that It was
doing me good, and by the time I had
taken the first bottle, I could stand
on my feet. I got another bottle, and
before I had taken It up, I was just
about well. The pains all stopped,
and in a short while I was able to do
my work.
I know that Cardui saved my life,
and 1 would not be without it in the
house. I almost waited too long, and
l advise all suffering woVnen not to
wait, but to begin taking Cardui at
once."
Your druggist soils Cardui. Get a
bottle today.

EXCURSION TO
TYBEE SUNDAY
Initial Sunday Excursion of the
Season Was a Fine Success.
A Large Number Made the
Trip.
Engine 1605, of the Central of Geor
gia Railroad, with seven coaches well
filled with pleasure anticipating ex
cursionists, pulled out of the Augusta
union station at 6:50 o’clock yesterday
morning, making the initial one of
those Special Summer Excur
sions that the Central of Georgia is
noted for; has been operating for
twenty or more years successfully,
Judging by the patronage from Au
gusta and all along the line.
The trip yesterday was all to the
good and despite the fact that Jupi
ter Pluvlus has not been operating his
watering cart along the road bed of
the Central of Georgia in many weeks
(until late last night down about Mil
len) the dust was conspicuous by its
absence, and caused many on the spe
cial to wonder at same. The schedule
was maintained to a dot, and, accord
ing to promise, at 11:30 a. m. (Au
gusta time) No. 1605 shut off steam
in the Central station at Savannah.
At Dover three well filled coaches
of excursionists were attached to the
special. These folks came from Dub
lin, Statesboro and way points. The
Central, also, operated a special from
Macon of seven or eight coaches.
Although the resorts on Tybee Is
land have been in full blast for some
weeks, yesterday may be said to have
been the opening day of the seashore
season, hundreds of Savannah people,
besides the up-country visitors, going
to the island during the day. The
Central, on its Tybee division, oper
ates hour trains on Sunday, and the
road had all it could do to handle the
vast crowds who sought the ocean
yesterday, trains of ten, twelve and
fifteen coaches being run during the
afternoon. The beach was as full of
bathers as an ant-hill with a lump of
sugar In its center is of ants in the
afternoon hours. The amusement re
sorts reaped a carnival of coin, ev
erybody seeming to be trying to get
rid of their money one way or another,
and the opportunities were galore.
