HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
After Four Years Of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.

Catron, Ky.-In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bette Bullock
writes as follows: IL suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, ! could only sit up for a little
while, and could NOT walk anywhere at
all. AT times, | would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
! had gotten so weak ! could NOT stand,
and ! gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me bottle Of
Cardui, the woman's ionic, and | COM
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, | could tell 1t was helping me. |
ian now walk two miles without its
firing me, and am doing my work."
II you are all run down from womanIy
troubles, don't give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman's tonic. lthas helped
more than a million women, in its so
years of wonderful success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
II win do. Ask him. He will reccnl-
mend It. Begin taking Cardui today.

Europeans, yet we must consider that

most OF these things.
One Of these inventors in particular,
kindly New Englander, is responsible
for many of the deadly things of the day.

Yet Hudson Maxim was the inventor
Of smokeless powder, enabling men to
shoot at other men without revealing
their place of concealment. He in
vented MaNirite. a powerful explosive,
which pierced armor plate and was
used in the destruction of the forts at
Liege and Mons. He invented a pow
der for driving torpedoes. He invented
a torpedo ram which will sink a ship
without exploding and killing the pas
sengers. He also invented a condensed
food for use Of soldiers on the march.

The incident stayed in his memory.
When he grew to manhood he decided
that the kick" Of a gun wasted q lot
Of power that might better be utilized
in adding to the efficiency of the shot.
Working along this line, he made the
first Maxim gun in 1882, q gun which

The Maxim Nordenfelt company was

THE next day Polk and Hatch and
about twenty-five others came in to

surrounded them, shot their children

did not like the cowboys. It seemed
they had previously had troubles with

milton Of his inventions was given q
title. He is now Sir Hiram Maxim.
Inventor Of Calling Gun.
The rapid fire gun. from howitzer to
mitrailleuse. in all its dozen Of varie-
ties, was born more than fifty years
ago. when DR.. Richard Jordan Calling,
who had already a score Of useful in
ventions to his credit before he ever
turned his mind to war appliances. saw,
soon after the opening Of the civil war;
a regiment OF half starved soldiers
marching. Their heavy guns seemed to
load them down.
I'll invent a gun which will do their
work for them" declared DR.. Calling,
and he did.
He wanted to make the soldiers
work lighter. He did. but also made
it more dangerous. He wanted 4 ma
chine that would do the work of a hun
bred men. And within a few months
the first Calling gun was ready for
use.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-04-18

II was tested late IN 1881 and proved
It could fire $50 shots a minute. A fire
destroyed Gatling's models and plans,
and he had to begin all over again.
He increased its efficiency to loo
shots q minute. but the United States
government said 1t was impracticable.
However. General B. F. Butler did
not agree with the army experts. At
his own expense he purchased a dozen
Of DR.. Gatling's toys" Their ire
mendous success caused the govern
ment to adopt the new invention post
haste, and all other countries followed
suit.
He sailed to Calcutta when a boy and
whiled away his time thinking about a
small rife that would IRE several shots
quickly. For the next ten years he
continued TO think about II. Suddenly
the whole thing came to him. He told
Uncle Sam about 1.-THE government
laughed.
But when Zachary Taylor bought
1000 Of the new tangled weapons for
his cavalry every one began to take
notice.
Ericsson, with his ironclad. really
gave the world the armored battleship,
and he invented also the screw pro-
peller. He got the first patent on 1t.
And when II comes right down to it,
Fulton first made a ship 60 by steam.

invented the aeroplane. The aeroplane
is one Of the greatest deciding factors
Of this war.
II a Boston carpenter had not be-
come interested in perfecting a pat
ent whereby a rife could be fired sew
eral times without reloading, today's
repeating rifie-ths very basis Of all
military operations-might never have
been devised.
The repeating rife. invented by
Oliver F. Winchester. had its baptism
in the civil war. Winchester became
interested in a device of a Massachu-
sets genius. known as the volcano"
which would fire several successive
cartridges.
Winchester took over the patents
made practical by means OF one i'm
provement after another, and founded
