Miss Fay Lee,
No. 6O31a North Seventh Street,
Kansas City.

YOU distracted now is caused by the terri
bic nervous tension. The nerves soon be-
gin to give way under the strain. You
will jump at every disturbance, or laugh
or weep, Historically, at no apparent
! cause. That is what Miss Fay Lee, OF
Kansas City, Kas., was coming to when
she rescued herself by taking Wine OF
Cardui. The Wine made her strong,
healthy woman again, as it has made a
million other women strong and healthy.
By inducing regular menstruation the en-
tire system of organs are relieved of the
terrible wasting drains. The igaments
which hold the womb in place are strength
ened by healthy flow and that organ Is
returned to its proper and normal position.
With regular menstruation the strain IS
relaxed and returning health is the result.
This is what Wine of Cardui has done in
thousands of cases.
Miss Margaret Robinson, of Bridges.
Ala, was a great suffererer with bearing
down pains but she was cured by Wine OF
Cardui also. She writes:
"Bsfore using Wine of Cardui suffered
terribly with bearing-down pains. BY ad-
vice Of a friend used your medicine and
now feel as we'll as ever felt in my lite"
Mrs. Louisa CARRIER, Of Little Falls, N.
Y, writes:

what no doctor or other medicine could do.

A Gigantic Goddess of War.

In the Japanese capital, there is a gi-
gantic image of a woman made of
wood, iron and plaster. The time of it's
erection and the name of its designer
are in dispute, but it is known to have
been dedicated to Hachiman, the god
Of war. In height it measures fifty
four feet, the head alone. which is
reached by winding stairway In the
interior of the figure, being capable of
holding company Of twenty persons.
The goddess holds a sword in her right
hand and huge painted wooden ball
in the left. Internally the statue Is the
finest anatomical model in existence,
every bone, joint and ligament being
represented on gigantic scale in pro-
portion to the height and general size
Of the huge figure itself. The large
eyes are magnifying glasses, through
which a fine view Of the surrounding
country may be had.

There is not on record an authenti-
Gated case of snake bite cured by
whisky. Plenty of individuals bitten
while under the influence of liquor
have died, and large amounts Of alco-
hol have failed to save life in many
cases. Only about one in six Of those
bitten by venomous snakes dies. The
remaining five are cured by anything
they happen to have taken. Stimua,

whisky to drunkenness by lowering the

a causative factor in many deaths sup

BIRTH OF AN ICEBERG.
The Dramatic Experience of Two
Antarctic ExplOrers.

The Dramatic Experience of Two
Antarctic Explorers.
Mr.. G.. L. Borchgrevink, commander
of the antarctic expedition of 1893.
nearly lost his life by an accident of a
nature so peculiar that it is probable
no other man could duplicate the ex-
perience. At the foot of Mount Terror
in February, 1900. he landed from his
ship with Captain Jensen and three
other men. Then, wishing to take
picture of the shore, he sent his boat
hack to the vessel to get camera, and
he and Captain Jensen were left alone
on the rough beach. Before the boat
returned a strange and awful thing
happened. Mr.. Borchgrevink told the
story in the Outlook:
A roar and rush, with tremendous
explosions, shook the beach. The
thought came to us that the perpendic-
ular rocks above US were falling Then
we realized what was taking place.
The mighty glacier Immediately to the
west of us was giving birth to an ice
berg
Millions of tons Of ice plunged into
the ocean We could see nothing be
yond an immense cloud Of rolling
snow. The water rose from the plunge
of this antarctic monarch. | sang out
to Jensen, "Now we shall have to face
the wave!'
We rushed to the highest point Of our
limited beach, four feet above the sea.
We saw advancing on us dark green
ridge with white crest called to
Jensen to struggle for dear life. We
clutched the uneven rocks, with our
backs toward the advancing water. AL
though it could not have taken more
than seven minutes the time seemed
long before the water closed over our
heads.
Floating upward, scrambling upon
the rocks, tore the nails from my
flesh in my endeavor to keep from be-
ing dragged out. After the second
wave we again felt the rocks under
our feet.

above our heads. 1t was somewhat
lower when it struck us. Where the
wave had struck with full force the
face Of the rock had been altered, and
rocks were still falling when the three
men in the boat found us, bleeding and
torn.
Two facts had saved us. To our right
9 small peninsula Of ice protruded
some five feet from the rock, and the
rock itself bent toward the west. From
the moment it struck the curve of the
mountain rock to the west of us the
wave took course more easterly than
where Jensen and / stood.
