Ask Your Dru98ist

The great army of American druggists are
mighty intelligent and well-educated men.
They know the properties of drugs and medi-
clnes and have experience with all kinds of troubles
which peop3ec into the store to ask relief for.
SO their practical knowledge is very valuable
ana their advice is worth great deal to all sick people
If you know your druggist well enough to ask
ms ADVICE for your female trouble do So and he will
tell you that thousands of women have written letters
telling OF relief obtained from taking Cardu
In his experience he has heard and read of
many cases OF female weakness, which have been re-
heVed or cured by Cardu. So. when you ask his
opinion, he will not offer a prescription, but will
probably say: take Cyd2" And you will do well
to follow his advice.
Cardui is advised in all the common forms of
womany trouble. due to disorders peculiar to females
1t has been found to relieve or prevent head
ache, backaohe side ache, dragging sensations nerv
BUSINESS irritablity, ireguarity. and general female
weakness and misery.
Many thousands of sick ladies' have been re-
stored to health, by the use of Cardui, and have
written to tell of the good it did Them
Cardui is composed'of pure. vegetable ingred-
ents-hence has no harmful effects like many mineral
compounds. 1t acts gently and naturally is good for
young and old. and should be in every lady's home
even it not an invalid, to take during her bad days

A SERIES OF Ten TALKS ON ADVERTISING NJ 4
written BY Seymour Eaton of Philadelphia mo. y

have BUNCH of letters from advertisers asking
me to criticise their advertisements to tell them
wherein the copy is bad good.
1t is nearly all bad but most bad advertise
ments pay. The better the copy, as a general rule
the better the results. Good copy for one class of
trade might be very poor copy for another. But there
are few broad general principles which always
true.
Your advertisement should be attractive enough
to catch the eye. Size doesn't do this. two inch
single column card may be made to attract more
notice than announcement big sheet of note
paper If your advertisement seen it isn't read
and if it isn't read matter if it has ten million
circulation it isn't worth postage stamp. You are
not investing circulation in readers of adver-
tisements.
81 The next point is to make your advertisement
readable. As rule the readable copy printed
in fairly large book type; kind of type with
display heading two and the reading divided
into easy paragraphs. Most advertisers think that by
crowding the space to its utmost they getting
bigger value for their money Within reasonable
limits the very opposite is true. Ten words read
worth more than ten thousand words looked at
If advertising retail shop and I found
that my advertising appropriation would allow me to
take two inch card daily in four newspapers should
multiply the two by four and take eight inch card
in newspaper.
But the scret of copy is personality; red hot
hustling life. Like breeds like If your shop is a
hustling go-ahead and this spirit is reflected
your advertising, the Contagion will soon spread
The first hundred customers hardest to get;
the second hundred come in about half time; the
third hundred attracted by the crowd.
The full page announcements of the department
stores overshadow the small dealer; but there is
opening great field in every big city for the at
traCtve advertising of the smaller shop. This ad-
vertsing must be done in a way; it must be
pleasing refined, convincing; it must appeal to the
individual who loves quiet rather noise the very
antithesis of the broadSide bargain advertising so
common in every newspaper.
