2-Way relief!

Month after month, some women
go on suffering from periodic func-
tional pain and discomfort. Then
they learn the help of CARDUI!
Probably that is because CARDUI
increases appetite and the flow of
gastric juice; so aids digestion, and
helps build up strength energy,
physical resistance for many. That's

one way it may relieve periodic
pain due only to functional causes.
But it may also help relieve peri
odic distress if you start taking it
by directions three days before
your time" Remember, modern
facts and 81 years of popularity in
vite your confidence in CARDUI.

Grandfather and Grandmother Sit were two
Lundu Dyaks who very poor and often lived
for days without food. They had one grand
daughter who shared their miserable existence.
One morning the half-starved Sits all were
missing. Friends, relatives and everyone searched
the Jungle for DAYS but not a sign of a Sit did
they find. The whole tribe was worried because
such a sudden disappearance could only be evil
omen.
Imagine what an evil omen it would be to these
natives today if whole villages were wiped out by
bombs!

March 10, 1941.
Mr.. William Randolph Hearst,
Dear Sir:
MOTE with interest your news
IN column. I'm very much
against this vivisection Of dogs.
We had a fine fox terrier. One
day, when 1 was a child, some one
stole this dog. Money was scarce
In our family, as my brother was
Ill for a long time and anything
extra that could have gone for lux
uries was spent on specialists, con-
situations and medicine, trying to
cure my only brother. So we didn't
have money to pay for advertising.
We found out some fellows had
been stealing dogs and selling
them to the medical school. After
searching the neighborhood, walk
Ing miles, and asking everyone IL
they had seen our dog, finally de-
cided to try the medical college.
People said: "You never will get
him. II he Is at the college,"
Not TO be discouraged, my
younger sister and 1 walked five
miles to this college. We told a
very pitiful story to the man in
charge and were sobbing, as we
were nearly heartbroken. He felt
sorry for us and said II our dog
was there, we could have him. He
took us to a dark kennel In the
basement. We shrieked the dogs
name Bruno" He was so happy,
made one leap into my arms. Poor
thing had not been fed for three
days and you could count his
bones.
Then again our hearts sank, as
we didn't have the two dollars to
redeem him, as that was what was
paid for him. The man was most
kind and said he thought he was
repaid for the happiness that dog
had given us.
Three other dogs were there,
sad-eyed. Our dog lived for over
IL years and repaid US many times
with his love and devotion.
Your column Is read with great
interest. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely yours,
MRS. s. l.. HOFFMAN,,
