IF every woman in the land today sick
with female troubles could be brought
d to realize that medicine exists that
7ouid restore her to health, there would be
CIV homes that would not resound with re-
jo;cing. Barren wives, invalid mothers,
sisters and daughters furnish American
homes with much of their bitterness and
sorrow. That there is such medicine
has been proven by the reported relief of
over a million suffering women. Thou
sands of them have taken the trouble to
personally write to The Chattanooga Med
icine Company of their cures. They tell
how Wine of Cardui has strengthened the
weak girl and prepared the apprehensive
wife for motherhood, how it has quickly
cured mothers and women of every age
and station of all kinds of female ills.
One of these cures is that of Miss Nan

Cardui by what she writes:
swine Of Cardui is certainly boon to
women and as my experience with it has
been most gratifying l am glad to speak
good word for it. About two years ago

Could any woman ask more in the way
of relief than Miss Stahlberg secured ?
This same relief is in the reach of every
in this land today. No one is too
poor to buy health in a bottle of Wine of
Cardui. Thousands of women who 90 to
specialists and spend thousands of dollars
in the fruitless pursuit of health finally
come to Wine of Cardui and secure relief.
Wine of Cardui is the simple remedy that
relieves female suffering. Wine of Cardui
never fails to benefit. 1t is peculiarly
adapted to regulating menstruation and
weak women. Druggists all
over the country are selling thousands of
bottles of Wine of Cardui every day. No
one is too poor to buy it, yet no amount of
money could buy better medicine. Wine
of Cardui has endeared itself to the ZOO, 900
women it has relieved. They love the

CHICAGO MARKETS.

Chicago, May 2S.-Bears had their
turn at the grain markets to-day.
General conditions were moderately
bearish, but as on yesterday, it was
the action in the corn pit that turned
the tables and all grains on the list
were forced to a weakness greater
than yesterdays was strongA The
whole situation hinged on the liberal
acceptances of Chicago bids by coun-
try holders of corn. These were so
much greater than had been antici-
pated that prices broke badly in the
corn pit and other grains suffered
sympathetically. July wheat closed
1A@1asc lower, July corn 112@15sc
down, and July oats 12c lower. Pro-
visions closed unchanged to a shade
lower.
The leading futures ranged as fol-
lows:

Among the arrivals yesterday was
the schooner Savannah from Portland.
She locked at the foot of Abercorn
street, and began loading lumber. So
far the Savannah has made very sue
cessful passages. She is modern

ment for quick port work and naviga-

Except at the lumber docks little OF

stores are improving.
AT a recent meeting of Delaware
river towboat owners, held at Phila-
delpnia, plans were formed to protest
TO the proper department at Washing
ton against the old rule, recently re-
vived, requiring all towboats plying
below Bombay Hook, which is con-
sidered the mouth OF the river, to car
ny a second engineer. Failure to COM
ply with this rule involves a penalty
of $500.
Although the meeting, which was
largely attended, was held behind clos
ed doors, it was learned that Capt. +.
a. Churchman, of the Red Star Towing
Company, was appointed a committee
of one to go to Washington with the
protest 1t was also said that he was
instructed to learn what steps must be
taken to have this rule repealed and
report at meeting to be held next
week.
about forty boats, representing $50
owners, whose capital invested
amounts to nearly $500, 600, will be af-
fected by this rule if rigidly enforced.
The week opens upon a quiet condi-
ton of affairs in the several depart
ments OF sail tonnage. Long voyage
tonnage meets with some inquiry, but
vessels of a suitable character are not
offered freely upon the basis of cur
rent rates. South America freights

Indies is wanted, but small and medl-
um vessels are scarce. COasting lum-
Der freights are quiet, though rates APP
