NATIVE OF THE SOUTHLAND And Nothing Pleases This Lady , More, Than to Praise Cardui, The Woman's Tonic. Chillicothe, Ohio.?"I am a native of the Southland," says Mrs. Ed. Davis, of this town, "and 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 Bupport 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. e 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.?Adr. Unknown.

"A sister was ill nearlv all her life I with headache and heart trouble, and about all she cared for was coffee and tea.
