way of small farm, very close to Silt.
OF the 81 acres one-half is in cultiva-

acres of spud or grain land and 1000
fruit trees. Good 5-room house, bara,
milk house and cistern, with waite.
piped into the house; good water right;
2 horses, wagon, sleigh, plow, harrow
and number Of small implements. This
property cost the owner nearly 5000.

BROUGHT BACK
 NATURAL HEALTH
The Facts About an Interest ing Case Of Serious Female Trouble Benefited By the
 Use of Cardui

Walnut Cove. N. C.--Mrs. E. A. Rothrock, of this town. says: About two years ago I was in very bad health for three or four months
 At this time I had serious female trouble, which lasted severely for nine weeks. I got awfully weak and could scarcely go. and my doctor said ought to be in bed.
 My two sisters, who had used Cardui with good results and who now use it as a tonic, recommended 1t highly to me, saying It Is fine medicine.
 l felt if I lived I must have some- thing to help me, and as other medi- cines had failed to relieve me, I thought would try Cardui. the woman's tonic. At this time I was almost skin and bones.
 I seemed to improve after the use of the second bottle of Cardui. The trouble stopped. I suffered less pain, and began to get back my strength and got back my natural state of health, also my flesh, and could do my work easily.
 This spring was run down in health; had over-worked myself I took nearly three bottles of Cardui as tonic, and 1t brought me back to my natural state of health.
 Last week I put up 7s jars of fruit, which I could not have done before taking Cardui. I am glad I heard of 1t, and I hope other women will too"
 Your case may not be as bad as tho above. but even If only a mild case, we suggest that you begin today to try Cardui the woman's tonic.
