I suffered a great deal of pain in my back and sides. My limbs would cramp. I didn’t feel like doing my work, and there are so many steps for a woman to*take on a farm. I was very anxious to get better. A friend rec ommended GARDUI The Woman's Tonic to me and I began using it. I certainly improved. I went through change of life with out any trouble. I can highly recommend Cardui.” At the age of about 40 to 50 every woman has to pass through a critical time, wliich is called the Change of Life. At this time, great changes take place in her system, causing various painful and disagreeable symptoms. If you are approaching this period, or are already suffer ing from any of its troubles or symptoms, take Cardui. It should help you, as it has reined others. Sold by all druggists. E -98 Jno. M.

Trace Land Title Back to George III tin siot, be The Weldon paper in its current i sue carried a notice of the prospec tive sale fur division of a dower tract of land near Weldon which is of more, thin pa dug interest.
