ing Thereby.

Miami, Okla.-"One of my neigh

If she would only get $500 worth of
Cardui, and take it, she would. So
she sent her husband to town to get
the Cardui, and commenced taking it.
She looked so pale and sick all the
time, but is beginning to look better
already.
AS to how it helped mel suffered

bles, and became so weak and ner-
vous, and would suffer such pain
every month, that l thought, at times,

NOT HIGH-PRlCED AMBITION
Magazine Poet Surely Could Not Be
Accused of Having Too Strong
Desire for Wealth.

Aprepos of Marshall r. Kermoehan,
who makes $50 a year by writing
music, a magazine poet said:

When they see my poetry in all the
magazines people think that | live

HAVE BLANK PERIODS
PEcULIARITIES OF MIND SHOWN
BY HEAVY DRINKERS.
Apparently Fully Conscious Of Their
Surroundings, and Acting Normal
Iy, They Really Are Men
tally irresponsible.

Responsibility assumes that a per-
son is aware of the nature of his acts
and the consequences which follow
writes DR.. T. D. Crothers in Case and
Comment, and that he is able to judge
of the conditions and impressions
which come to him from surroundings
and contact with others. He may
reason incorrectly from these data,
and misinterpret them, and form
wrong conclusions, but it is assumed
that he is fully conscious of passing
events and surroundings. When this
consciousness and memory is shut off,
and the words, acts, and conduct OF
others fail to make any impression,
there is abnormality and irrespoGsi-
bility. What is called the personality
of the man, or his consciousness of
the present, is lost, and conduct and
mentality are without guidance or
control.
Many very startling instances have
been noted which confirm this fact.
Thus, a conductor running daily on
an express train drank heavily at
night before retiring. The next morn
ing he would go out on his train,
attend to all his duties as usual, only
showing a little more ~reticence and
abstractedness. He was apparently
conscious Of everything that went on.
Many hours afterwards On his return
trip he would suddenly become ex-
cited and inquire with great anxiety
to know what had happened, and say
he had no recollection of anything
from the time of retiring the night
before.
Sometimes this blank of memory
would last during the entire trip. To
his associates this condition was rec
ognized by his reticent, gruf manner.
His work was performed automatical-
ly, with apparent judgment. On sew
eral occasions of great excitement
from accidents, he would apparently
recover his normal condition, and be
unusually disturbed to know what had
preceded the event.
These blanks continued several
years, and were known only to his
intimate associates. Another example
was of the president of a very large
manufacturing concern, who drank
steadily in moderation. He had dis
tinct blanks Of memory, sometimes
for days at a time. He was actively
engaged in business, planned and con-
Quoted important matters, and yet
was cblivious of events occurring dur
ing these blank periCcs.
A third example vas that Of a tray
cling man who took both drugs and
spirits. He would have no conscious
memory Of where he was or what he
had sold, except when he referred to
his diary which he kept with great
minuteness.
Had any of these persons commit
ted overt acts, no defense of loss of
memory would have been considered.
They werc in reality exceedingly dan-
gerous and irresponsible persons,
liable at any moment TO commit alb.
normal acts.

Good Cheer Aids

The temper Of the family and the

and careful mastication fail the next

FACE COVERED WITH PlMPLES

PA Brevard St., Tampa, Fla
Some three years ago I commenced
to suffer from a rash on my face and
back. Before the pimples came on my
face there were a lot of blackheads. 1t
looked as If the blackheads turned
into pimples because after a little
while all Of them were gone and my
face was covered with phnples. They
were small at first but gradually
grew and right at the end Of each
pimple 1t was all white. l carelessly
picked them with my finger nails,
which made them spread, and / soon
discovered them On my back. My
back was covered with pimples and
my face the same way. At night l
could hardly sleep on account OF the
burning and itching sensation they
caused. l did not like to go out be-
cause the pimples caused d~isfgure-
ment.
Seeing the advertisement Of Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment in one of
the magazines l sent for a sample. /
