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

WISH anu ueSlro. Que WAS pIo-
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 critical time
she was exposed to rain storm
and caught cold, which caused de-
rangements 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
DTOkcu-ll6dTtcu ldtllcI.
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 1t, 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 affection,
JOHN G. LEACH.
During the first part of his
daughters sickness Mr.. Leach s
attention was directed to the new
remedy for such diseases (McEl-
reefs Wine of Cardui) and he was
advised to try it, but 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
fictictious, but the facts are exact
occurrences. One hundred cases
similar to this could be given,
where cures were accomplished by
use of McElrec's Wine of Cardui,
and all might have terminated in
heath, as SO many hundreds do
every year.
Mr.. S. A. Smith, Postmaster at
Burnt Mills, Tishomingo county,
Miss. one of the most successful
country merchants in the State,
veil known throughout Northern
Mississippi, writes US the following
unsolicited letter:
BURNT MILLS, Miss, Oct. 81, 'se.
10 the Chattanooga Medicine Co.:
Your medicines are all up to the
recommendation McElree's Wine
of Cardui cannot be too highly recon-
1,ended.
One lady in this neighborhood wss
confined 10 her room for sic gears, and
by the use Of six bottles of Wine OF
Cardui is now permanently cured.
Another one with Heart Dropsy, OF
thought to be by eminent physician,
and pronounced incurdbie, after using
1--we bottles is permanently cured.
Yours, etc.,
s. A. SMITH.
We wrote to Mr.. Smith, asking
him if he had any objection to the
publication of his letter. This was
his reply:
II have no objection to the letter be
ing printed, and would be glad If every
lady in the world could see it.
Yours truly, s. A. SMITH.
