 Made Her We'll.

Kathleen, Fla.-Mrs. Dallas Prime, of this place, says: After the birth of my last child. II got very much rundown and weakened, so much that I could hardly do anything at all. was so awfully nervous that could scarcely endure the least noise. My condition was getting worse all the time...
 I knew I must have some relief or I would soon be in the bed and in a serious condition for I felt so badly and was so nervous and weak I could hardly live. My husband asked Dr. ----about my taking Cardui. He said, Its a good medicine, and good for that trouble, so he got me bot ties. After about the second bottle I felt greatly improved. before taking it my limbs and hands and arms would go to sleep. After taking it., however, this poor circulation disap- peared. My strength came back to me and l was soon on the road to health. After the use of about 5 bot ties, could do all my homework and attend to my six children be- sides"
 You can feel safe in giving Cardui a thorough trial for your troubles. It contains no harmful or habit-forming drugs, but Is composed of mild, vege. table. medicinal ingredients with no bad after-effects. Thousands of women nave voluntarily written, telling of the good .Cardui has done them. It should help you. too. Try it. E "A

Silly Talk About duck"

One of the many ways iii which the individual unwisely eclipses himself, is in his worship of the fetish of luck. He feels that all others are lucky and that whatever he attempts, fails. He does not realize the untiring energy, the unremitting concentration, the heroic courage, the sublime patience that is the secret of some mems sue cess. Their luck" was that they had prepared themselves to be equal to their opportunity when it came and were awake to recognize it and re- ceive it.-WilIiam George Jordan.

was His plan that it should be as it
was. Her work was finished. And
now she is reaping the reward that
comes to those who have obeyed
Gods laws, both in regard to him and
man. She was a noble Christian wO-
man, faithful in the church, diligent
in every affair Of life. Exceedingly
kind to all she knew, and was loved
