The west Tennessee star. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1888, 1888-11-23

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 q. critical time
she was exposed to- a rain. storm
and caught cold, which caused, de-
engagements 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-
tenn 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 camo too late! My daughter died

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 CarduD 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 hu.
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 McElree's Wine of Cardui,
and all might have terminated in
death, as SO many hundreds do
every year.

The following letter is from 8

liberty to use the writer's name, no
lady who reads it would doubt the
value of McElree's Wine of Cardui.
Gentlemen: Since the birth of our
/ last child, five years ago, my wife has
been a great sufferer from falling of the
womb. For weeks at a time she was
never able to stand on her feet more
| than an hour at time without great
| pain, and had other ailments that made
J her condition exceedingly alarming.
! Physicians were never able to do heT
much good, though I consulted the
best l could find. About four months
ago we got one of your little books, and
were led to Try your Wine of Cardui as
0 tonic. The benefit from the first bot
tie was not very great, but she kept on
taking 1t, and soon began to improve,
and is now In good health. She Is a
firm believer that the Wine cured her,
and insisted on writing to express her
! gratitude to you. ] have written this
for her satisfaction, relying upon you
to make no publication Of my name In
| connection with the matter. While ]
] do not think the Wine was the sole
cause of my wife's recovery, do think
1t was instrumental in bringing about
her restoration to health, and shall
ever feel grateful for Its being thrown
In our way.
