committee had definitely decided to
publish a few days in both the daily

ing in their household and kitchen fur
niture, diamonds and jewelry, auto
mobiles and live stock, books, pictures,
cash, notes, and everything like that,
at one-tenth, some one-tw’entieth of
their market value. And they are
kicking because the city does not have
money to spend for improvements they
want made or because it does not re
duce the tax rate frojp $1.25 to sl.
We are simply going to show the city
why the treasury does not overflow
with money.”

NATIVE OF
THE SOUTHLAND
And Nothing Pleases This Lady
More, Than to Praise Cardui,
The Woman’s Tonic.
Chillicothe, Ohio.—“l am a native of
the Southland,” says Mrs. Ed. Davis,
of this town, “amj nothing pleases me
more than to speak a word of praise
for Cardui, the woman's tonic, for I
firmly believe that it snatched me
from the grave. Although I do not
need it now, I always keep a supply
on hand.
I have been married 14 years, and
had two children. After the youngest
was born, I was not able to walk, and
for four years, I was not strong
enough to stand on my feet five min
utes at the time, without something
to support me.
After everything else had failed, I
wrote to the Ladies’ Advisory Depart
ment, of the Chattanooga Medicine
Co., for advice, and they kindly told
me what I needed. I commenced tak
ing the Cardui Home Treatment. I
used only about four bottles of the
Cardui, but, today, I am well, can do
my own work, and walk as far as
I want to.
I can never praise Cardui enough,
and my neighbors cannot get done
wondering at the change in me.”
Cardui will, surely do as much for
you, as It did for the writer of the
above letter, if you will only give it a
trial.
Don’t delay. Begin taking Cardui
today. Your druggist sells it.—Adv.
