However sentimentalists may scoff, i
love is beyond doubt a specific <;is- j

?a fact which has oeen recognizee uy ,

remarks a London Tii iiir writer.
A truant curl, n sudden gtance
from a pair of merry eyes, the pour
of pretty lips, a dimple that comes and

Scott iiis heart.
Over iiA-st men The disease creeps
insidiously, marked i>y varying but
recognizable symptoms?"a foolish sequence
of disordered sentimentalities."
They have fits of moodiness and :tbstraction
and a "brooding, hangdog t
; look."
| They become unsociable and irrii
table?now almost hysterical in their
I hilarity, now plunged in an abyss of
i gloom. Their appetite fails; they iovl '
I flesh.
u In proximity to the loved one they j
often act in a manner distressing 10
themselves and idiotic to others. At a
word they will flame scarlet and utter
incoherencies or imbecilities. They
will sir on their hats or put the sugar
tongs in the milk jug.
Then, when at last the tortures of
incubation are over and the disease
Is in full swing, the whole world is
metamorphosed for them.
This is the stage of delirium, in |
which they see glorious visions And !
move among phantoms. For
there is only one woman in all ihe
world. She is a queen, a .goddess.
Her faults are virtues, her virtues
divine.
Her voice, though it be raucous hs
that of raven, is sweetest music: her
face, her form, are the crown of female
perfection. If they may not live
for her. ail ihe boon tliey crave of the
gods is to be allowed to die for her.
This period of ecstasy may be long !
or short-. Happy the man who soon
emerges from it into sanity, for rlu?

It was in this mood that Hazlitt !
- glorified the "kitchen slavey" into u j
divinity and worshipped prostrate at j
her shrine, and it was In this moud
that hundreds of men have closed
great careers in tragedy, from Mare
Antony to Boulanger, who shot himself
on his adored one's grave,
But whatever the symptoms, l<vve is, j
beyond all quesrion, a disease and
full of perils to its victim. It blinds
his eyes, paralyzes his Judgment. It

D. V. Williams, wife of a weil-known
farmer on Route 6, this place. "I
kept getting headaches and' havihg to
go to bed," continues Mrs. Williams
describing the troubles from which
she obtained relief through the use of
Cardui. "My husband, having heard
of Cardui, proposed getting it for me,
"I saw after taking some Cardui
.. . that I was improving. The resuli
was surprising. I felt like a different
person.
"Later I suffered from weakness
and weak back, and felt all run-down.
I did not rest well at night, I was so
nervous and cross. My husband said
he would get me some Cardui, which
he did. It strengthened me . . . My
doctor said I got along fine. I was in
good healthy condition. I cannot
cay too much for it."
Thousands of women have suffered
as Mrs. Williams describes, until they
found reli&f from the use of Cardui.
Since it has helped so many, you
should not hesitate to try Cardui if
troubled with womanly ailments.
