Before I commenced taking Cardui, 1 had headache »o bad, 1 would have t<> stay in bed for days at a time. I suffered untold misery with my head and back. I saw Cardui advertised and decided to try It. T took three bottles. After taking the first bottle, I could see a vast difference In my feelings, and de cided to lake the second, and took three In all. After taking the third bottle, T felt like n new woman altogether, and I will always praise Cardui a« a boon to woman’s Ills. I believe It saved my life and I am now a well, henlthy woman, and my huabnnd Joins me In my praise for Cardui. Before 1 began taking Cardui, I was Irregular, hut since I began taking It, I have been regular and without any pain everyone tells rne ( am the picture of health since taking Cardui.

I was rather amused to read In the press some time ago of the ex perience of a father In putting to rout a coterie of high school students by propounding this very simple problem In mental mathematics: If a third of six were three, What would a fourth of twenty be? 1 emitted a sort of an Involuntary chuckle at the discomfiture of the victims, when my youngest son, scarcely a year out of high school, and sitting close by me, said, “What’s the Joke?" He's a clean cut young chap, not yet I*, and In hlB own estimation Is "some pumpkins.” I know, because I was his age at one time myself. Well, this was certainly unforeseen, like manna from heaven. I read him the problem without the answer and asked him to solve it. I read It over several times at Ills solicitation. He v, a* sparring for time, you know. Did he solve it? He did, decidedly not, end what's more, never will until he is shown.” On the other hand my elder son, by four years, handed me the correct answer on a s rap of paper almost Instantly. This latter son after spend ing on* year In high school came to me voluntarily and said he was only wasting his time there and proved It to my satisfaction, whereupon I took him out, put him In and through a technical school of high repute, where he was graduated with honor. I wanted to do the same for the younger son, but h - .couldn’t sre I*. I was not at all surprised by rending thiß article and It must be acknowledged our children of today are certainly not well educated. They go and got through school In some sort of a fash ion. whether forced by numbers to make room, w-hether by Incompetence of teachers, whether by a faulty sys tem, who can say? I could work this problem mentally before I was 12, never forgot It an-,1 never shall, because it was properly taught me Its solution Is so simple an to be absurd High schools In general, unless a scholar is preparing for college or, i.i case of girls, for teaching, are to my mind and experience failures. Even a high school graduate who wishes to enter college must go through a preparatory school In order to pass a college extrance examination.
