Before the Civil War our school . j - add. other business systems were quite ?; different to what they are today. We had commisisoners of schools, poor ^oads and public buildings.

Now Mr. J. E. R. Kyzer "jines the candidates column" and with his fine ability and experience, he was made Supt. of Education the second time. Then in A. D. Martin legal and educational talent with line oratorical powers, were introduced in the campaign with his genial winning ways, that landed him in the superintendent's office.

I was sick three years In bed, Buffering a great deal of pain, weak, nervous, depressed. I was so weak, I couldn't walk across the floor; Just had to lay and my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried every thing I heard of, and a number o 1 doctors. Still I didn't get any relief. I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. ,1 believe if I hadn't heard of and taken Cardui I would have died. I bought six bottles, after a neighbor told me what it did for her. "I began to eat and 6leep, began to gain my strength and am now well and strong. I haven't had any trouble since . ,. I stfr9 can testify to the; good that Cardui did zne.
