TOO LATE.
The Sad Fate of a Young Girl, and
the Remorse OF Her Father-A
Death that Might Have Been
Prevented-A Warning to Pa
rents.

Argyle Leach was the only child
and idolized daughter of parents
who were able to indulge her every
wish and desire. She was pro-
vided with the best teachers in all
departments of education. Until
she was sixteen years of age she
was the picture Of perfect health
and loneliness. At a critical time
she was exposed to a rain storm
and caught cold, which caused de-
rangemcnts peculiar to her sex.
She was treated by the best ply
sicians.
She suffered great pain in her back,
hips, chest and in the back of her
head and neck. Her nervous sys-
TEN became deranged. She would
have spells when she would laugh
and cry alternately, and could not
control herself Her eyesight was
affected, and when she would at
tempt to read innumerable stars
would appear and blind her.
On February 10th, 1887, the fol-
lowing letter was received from the
broken-hearted father.
DEAR BROTHER McELREE: The med
cine came too late! My daughter died
on the 18th of last month. / shall
never forgive myself for neglecting to
act on your advice. now firmly be-
lieve that if we had given her the
Wine of Cardui when you wrote us
about it, that she would have been
alive to-day. She was the only joy
and hope of our declining years, and
to think that her life was sacrificed by
prejudice makes me miserable. A
young lady, Miss -, living near us,
who was afflicted almost precisely like
my daughter, was treated with the
Wine of Cardui, and Is now entirely
well. May God forgive me!
Yours in great aiiiiction,
JOHN G. LEACH.
During The first part of his
daughters sickness MIR. Leach S
attention was directed to the NJ "
remedy for such diseases (McEl-
reefs Wine of Cardui and he was
advised to try it, hut her physician
protested against it. Finally, when
all hope was gone, he consented,
but it was then too late. No hui
man power could save her life.
The names in the above story are
iictictious, but the facts are exact
occurrences. One hundred cases
similar to this could be given,
where cures were accomplished by
use of Mclilree's Wine of Cardui,
ond all might have terminated in
heath, as SO many hundreds dc
