PAGE THREE lay Cooke Said * “In the sixty years I have been in the banking business, I have seen great individual fortunes made and swept away; 1 have seen personal enterprises built on a founda tion which every human foresight would justify, and I have seen them undermined by events entirely beyond the view of human knowledge. What in the progress of ■ time, may intervene to help or hinder human, plans is beyond the ken of any man.” Thus spake a man who has spent more years in the banking business than any other man. He was entirely right. Large fortunes do crum ble and decay. Many large fortunes have been built up by speculation and taking large risks, and many of them have been lost in just the same way. But people who build up large savings bank accounts take no risk and have no losses.. .You never knew the possessor of a good-sized savings bank account to walk the floor at night when he ought to be asleep. If YOU don’t want to walk the floor, walk into our bank and open a savings bank ac-. count and then keep building to it.

Anna Belle Emev, of this place, says: “I suf fered for 15 vears with an awful pain in my right side, caused from womanly trouble, and doctored lots for it, but with out success. I suffered so very much, that 1 became down in mind, and as help less as a baby, i was in the worst kind of shape, was unable to do any work. 1 began taking Card id, the woman’s tonic, and got relief from the very first dose.* By the tune I had taken 12 bot tles, my health was completely restored. I am sow 48 years years old, but feel as 11 did when only 16. Cards! certainly saved me from losing ■y mind, and 1 reel it my duty to speak ia Hi lavar. I wish 1 had tome power ■aka would do If you auffer from aay of the ailments peculiar to women, It will certainly be worth year while to give Cardui a trial. It has been helping weak women for more than 50 years, and will help you, too. Try Cardui. Your druggist sells it. + Writr t»- Chattanoogt M«dicin« Co . Ladlti' Advisory Osot. Chattanooga.

N.C. 1S1 k MESSAGE TO WOMEN Was Able to Sleep and Eat Again Mrs. Mueller says: *'I keep Peruna In the house constant ly. When I am not feeling well I take a few dose*. It always restores." Mrs. Mueller's story of her ex perience with Peruna fully ex plains why she always keeps Peruna on hand. ▲ few years ago she was very sick. The trouble seemed to bo the stomach and liver. She suffered greet pstn. Was unable to got any thing to help her. She was growing wsaker and weaker. She became tired of life. Homebody suggested that she writ* to the Peruna Co. She did so. Through their advice she began to use PeruAs. In a letter from her at this time she says: "Through the use Of Peruna I have regained my health. I took only a bottle and a half when I waa able to sleep and eat again and my nervousness disap peared.” No wonder Mrs. Mueller keeps Peruna in the house. Under similar circumstances Peruna would be in every house in the land. Any one taking Peruna ought to have a free copy of the “Ills of Life." Address Peruna Co.. Columbus, Ohio. People who object to liquid medi cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets. Who are “Just Ready to Drop.” Wben you are “Jtisi ready to drop,” wben you feel so «cak that you can fc&nlly drag yourself abcut-*-an<l be cause you have not slept well,*you get up as tlred-out next morning as when you went to bed, then you. need Lelp right away. Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma lone. N. Y. # saying: “I was In a badly Tun-down condition for several weeks, but two bottles of Viaol put me on sny feet again and made me strong and well. Vlnol has done me more ‘?Bood than all the other medicine l aver took." • If the careworn, haggard men and women, the pale, sickly children and leeblo old folks around here would follow Miss Dumas' example, they.
