"When change of life began
on me," says Mrs. Lewis
Lisher, of Lamar, Mo., "I
suffered so with womanly
weakness. I suffered a great
deal of pain in my back and
sides. My limbs would cramp.
I didn't feel like doing my
work, and there-are so many
steps for a woman to take on
a farm. I was very anxious
to get better. A friend rec

I certainly improved. I went
through change of life with

recommend Cardui."
At the age of about 40 to

through a critical time^wnich
io called the Change of Life.
AWhis time, great changes
take place in her system,
causing various painful and
disagreeable .symptoms.

airplane here today restored normal
hearing to Samuel Brenjar, tailor in
a leading- store here and an ex soldier

doctor, who made the drop with him,
as the plane rode quietly on the wa
fers of Lake Worth, and said: "Why
are you yelling at me?" According
to the specialist who has been treat-*
ing the tailor's ears, the rapid change
of atmospheric pressure broke up ad

vibrations to register.
