ONE WOMAN'S WAY
OF KIDDING HERSELF OF TRoU.
BILE and SECURING HAPPINESS.
For Years She Was in Misery Till FL
nally She Determines to Be Happy
Anain-AoM She Succeaded.

A9atn-f1oW She oucCeooeo'
A story of suffering that rings true
in the heart of many woman Is that
of Mrs. Joseph Adams, the wife of a re-
tired farmer who lives at No. S0o Ih1rd
street, Webster City, Iowa. Her trou-
BILE and how she secured happiness at
last is best told In her own words:
"For three or four years" she says,
II was miserable. suffered awful
pain from cramps in my stomach. |
could eat hardly anything. for nothing
seemed to agree with me. would grow
faint and suffer very much with cramps
every little while, and after these at
lacks would be very weak. had a
doctor twice a week for about two
years, but he couldn't cure me. would
be in bed for a day or so, then up for
day and then down. and so it would go.
But now / am well and. for a woman
of 70 years, am pretty strong. l had
been suffering, as l say, for three or
four years when l saw an advertise
ment in the paper telling about Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Il
decided to try this medicine and felt re-
lief with the taking of the first box.
took three boxes in all and now don't
need to take any medicine for am per-
fectly well. 1t is all due to DR.. VIII
Hams Pink Pills for Pale People"
These pills will not only cure cases
similar to that OF Mrs. Adams, but, con-.
tanning as they do, all the elements
necessary to give new life and richness
! to the blood and restore shattered
nerves, they have proved efiicacious In.
a wide range of diseases. They are an
unfauing specific, for such diseases as
pcomotor ataxia. partial paralysis, ST.
yitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheu-
inatism, nervous headache, the after,
effects of the grip palpitation of the
heart, pale and sallow compilations and
all forms OF weakness either in male or
female.
There are many limitations of DR..
williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
but none of them possess the wonderful
power OF the gepuine--the power that
cures when ordinary medicines fail. Do
not let your dealer sell you an inferior
preparation. If you have difficulty In
getting the genuine near home you can
get six .50-cent boxes, by mail, postage
paid. by sending $3.50 to the DR.. Will
.lianls Medicine Company, Schenectady,
~. Y. The genuine are never sold in
bulk, always'in the trade-m marked pack
ages.

you allow your trouble to run on until you
are past recovery? Wine of Cardui will
not cure female diseases when they have
developed into consumption. What else
can happen when irregularities are sapping
the blood and you let them go on? But do
not let them go on. Stop them now. Wine
of Cardui never fails in an uncomplicated
case. Your druggist sells sl.0O bottles Of
Wine Of Cardui and you should be taking
this remedy in your home now. Secure a
bottle of Wine of Cardui and get the same
benefit and cure from it Mrs Adams did.
If you think.you need advice write to The
Ladies Advisory Department, The Chat
tanooga Medicine Company, and tell them
your symptoms and letter Of advice will
be sent you.
Colfax Chesser, Of Frederickburg, Tex,
writes:

ever was made for women"
Ida NJ. Vaughn, Fearis, KY, says:
"wine Of Cardui did me more good than
all the doctors medicines"

sponsc to a telegram from Mr.. I'D.
WhiLtle. Seine weeks ago Mr.. Mhittio
bought in western North Carolina
one hundred and fifty steers for his
feed pens. About a week ago fifteen
Of them began to show signs Of being
sick and soon four died. The State
veterinarian examined them and found
that they were dying from Texas
fever, or southern cattle fever. Mr..
Whjttle has just gone into the bust
ness OF feeding cattle and will no
doubt be very much discouraged with
such unexpected results. Two other
gentlemen who have recently sustain
ed similar losses are Mr.. w. y. Rut-
land who is feeding 200 steers on his
farm. at Batesburg, and NIr.4J. ~.
Bland. Jr., OF Maycsville, feeding 125
head. The three nave a total OF near
~ 800 choice steers, from Western
North Carolina, valued at about SIS
900, and the aggregate loss from
Texas fever is about 81 900. When
it Is known that similar losses arc oc-
curing all over the State from June
TO January the disease must be rcck-
oncd as one Of great Importance to the
Or. Ncsom estimates that
last year it caused losses amounting to
over 800, ,000 and says it will be con-
moro for 1902.

found and destroyed, but no arrests
