Remarkable Story
The story of Mrs. Matilda Warwick, of Kokomo,
Ind., as told below, proves the curative properties of
j that well-known female remedy, Wine of Ctardui.
Mrs. Warwick says:
It Will Help You
Jtt
“I suffered from pains in my head, shoulders,
I limbs, side, stomach low down, dizziness, chills, ner
vousness, fainting spells and other female troubles.
I was almost dead. Three doctors did not help me.
I At last, I took Cardui, and with the first bottle ob-
| tained relief. Now I am cured. But for Cardui, |
II would have been dead.” Try Cardui.

RHEUMATISM
Every case of Rheumatism has its origin and its development in the
blood. It is not a disease wh:ch is contracted like a cold, but it is in the
blood and system before a pain is felt, and the changes in the weather or
any physical irregularities, such as a spell of indigestion, bowel disturbance
etc., are merely the exciting causes producing the pains and aches which
are the natural symptoms of the disease. Rheumatism is caused by au
excess of uric acid and other corrosive, irritating poisons in the blood, which
are carried through the circulation to every part of the system. Every
muscle, nerve, membrane, tissue and joint becomes saturated with these
acrid, irritating impurities, or coated with fine, insoluble caustic matter
and the sharp, piercing pains or the dull, constant aches are felt with every
physical movement. When t*ie blood is filled with uric acid poison perma
nent relief cannot be expected from liniments, plasters, or other external
treatment. Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to conquer
Rheumatism and bring about a

Cholera Epidemic Assumes Appalling
Proportions at St. Petersburg,
St. Petersburg, Sept. 24.—Owing
to the appalling proportions assumed
by the cholera epidemic, St. Peters
burg is fast being turned into a city
of the dead.
The cholera dead are being interred
at St. Petersburg, which is about an
hour’s distance on the railroad frore
St. Petersburg. A train of several
coaches, carrying the mourners, and
a dozen freight cars with the dead in
rude ooffins. goes dally to this place.
The scenes are heartrending In and

conducted uninterruptedly night and
day.
The coffins are of rude workman

cures Rheumatism because it is a
perfect and entirely vegetable blood
purifier. It goes down into the
circulation, Neutralizes the acids,
and dissolves the irritating depos
its which are pressing on the sensi
tive nerves and tissues and produc
ing pain, enriches the weak, sour
blood, and removes every atom of
impurity from the circulation. So
instead of being a weak, sour
stream, distributing uric acid to the
different parts of the system, the
blood is strong and healthy and
therefore able to supply every mus
cle, nerve, bone and tissue with nourishment and strength. Thtn th.- inflam
mation an-l swelling subside, the pains and aches cease, and not only is
Rheumatism permanently cured, but under the fine tonic effects of S S. S
the entire general health is benefitted and built up. In a!l forms >f Rhoum?

Sometime mo, I had Rheumatism end bed to
quit work. The pain in my back and between
my shoulders was so intense I could not rest or
aleep. I tried everything, but nothing did me any
good till I heard of and took S. S. S. This med
icine cured me sound and well. It purified my
blood end made me feel like a new man.

I wee severely troubled with Rheumatism. I
had it in my knees, legs and ankles, and any one
who has ever had Rheumatism knows how excru
ciating the pain is and how i nterferes with one
at work. I was truly in bad .ape—having been
bothered with it for ten year of! and on. A
local physician advised me to i S. S. 5. I did
so. After taking two bottles I .oticed the sore
ness and pain were greatly reduced. I continued
the medicine and was thoroughly cured; alt pain,
soreness and inflammation gone. I recommend
S. S. S. to all Rheumatic sufferers.
