"'Feeling
Fine!"
.1 u ...
"I was pale and thin, hardly
able to go," says Mrs. Bessie
Bearden, of Central, S. C. "I
would suffer, when I stood on
my feet, with bearing-down
pains in my sides and the lower
part of my body. I did not rest
well and didn't want anything
to eat. My color waa t>ad and
1 felt miserable. A friend of
mine told me of
CARDIII
The Woman's Tonls
and I then remembered my
mother used to take it. . . After
the first bottle 1 was better. 1
began to fieshen up and I re
pained my strength and good, i
healthy color. I am feeling fine.
I took twelve bottles ( of Cardui)
and haven't had a bit of trouble,
since."
Thousands of other women
have had similar experiences In
the use of Cardui, which has
brought rehef where other
medicines had failed.
If you suffer from female ail
ments, take Cardui. it if a
woman's medicine. It may ba
j ist what you need.

the large number of pardons and ?u?.

that he would not hear any criminal

Prisoners convicted of nearly all chiy

Burned to Death. J1
A married daughter of W. T,^i
? Snipes', who lives in the Trad esville *
section, met a tragic death last 1
Thursday, by being burned to death J
in the absence of members of the r
household.
The unfortunate woman had not J
been in gopd health, an<? it being j
somewhat cool that morning, a Are
was kindled for her before the others
members of the family went to work "]
in the vicinity. Upon returning, her
charred body was found in the yard.
It is not known how the tragedy oc
curred, but as there was some evi
dence of self-destruction, coupled with ^
the fact of her ill-health, it is suspect
ed that she was responsible for the
affair. ? Lancaster News.
