A Long Night The hours are I'M
ending seeminly to the watche as he
waits for the dawn of day through the
long weary hours Of the night. One by
one he counts the loud ticking of the
clock as on tip-toe he looks out into
the darkness hoping to see one sign Of
the breaking Of day. Thus the Jews
had watched for the coming Of their
Messiah through the ages of captivity,
persecution and humiliation which to
them must have seemed long and
dreary and dark. No sign appeared. No
prophet appeared. Isaiah, Ezekiel,
| Amos, Hosea, had preached to deaf
ears and unrolled visions before those
who were as if blind; then four hun
dred years passed with no prophet in
Israel; no longer was open warning
or sign from God. They might look
back into their history with rejoicing
when thinking of how God had lead
them through the waters of the Red
Sea and the vale of Jordon and how
He had graciously fed them but to
look ahead nought but darkness APP

Watching for the Dawn. - Trouble
causes men to seek help; faith was re-
kindled. Self-sufficiency in a great

For some time a circular has been

medicine bearing this question:

Replies, &c date, have been re-
ceived from over $4,000 women
answering that question.
90 per cent of which say YES.
That means that9s out of every
100 women who take the medi-
cine for the ailments for which
itisrecomEaendeda are benefited
by it.
This is a most remarkable record
Of efficiency. We doubt if any
other medicine in the world
equals it.
Think of it-only two women

90 successes out of a possible 100.

Of course we know that our med
icine does benefit thelarge major
ity of women who take it. But
that only two out of 100 received
no benefit is most astonishing.
1t only goes to prove, however,
that medicine specialized for
certain definite ailrnents-not a
cure alone that is made by the
most scientific process; not from
drugs, but from combination
of natures roots and herbs, can
and does dc more good than
hastily prepared prescriptions.
You see, we have been making,
improvingand refining this med
icine for over so years until it is
so perfect and SO we'll adapted to
women's needs that it actually
has the virtue to benefit 90 out of

nearly seventy-th1ee thousand deaths

$40 and If the rest of the United
States had as many deaths from this
cause IN proportion to the population,
the total number of deaths from can
Ger in the entire United States for
1920 was $4,000, while for 1919 the
number is estimated as $4,000 or
5000 less than for 1920.

is upward, the rate for 1920 being

rates are shown i'll the following table.
The cancer death rate in the registra-
