Began To Feel Stronger After Taking Cardni. I/oadey, Ala.—“I wu in an awful ted state of health,” says Mrs Charles Jerkins, of this place. ”1 was all run-down and weak as could be. I did not have the strength ol a kitten. Some days I could hardly lift my head from the pillow. ”1 looked like a skeleton. I was so thin and haggard. It took all my will power to drag myself around the house. I never walked any far ther than I had to, for it hurt me to stand on my feet. “My back and sides hurt me until 1 thought I could not stand It. “I saw myself growing gradually weaker and I did not know what to do. I tried several things but nothing helped me. “One day I read about how other women had been helped by taking Cardui, so 1 thought I would try it I found it a splendid medicine. Af ter I began to take It, I soon began to feel stronger and able to dc things. “From that time to the present X have taken Cardui several time! when I was run-down in health. It has never failed to help me.” Cardui should help you, too. Get a bottle today. j — flowers — 2 CorBouquets an I ) -Fune-rt Drsi ris a Fpcca1 * tv. Complete lire of Cut F’owein.

COPELAND. M. D. t'nlted States Senator And Former Health Crnnmiss onei of No* fork.I Drilled into the public mind Is a respect for cert an diseases, as well is a sense of conviction regarding them. It is almost Impossible to change pular opinion. It becomes almost as lived as the laws of Nature. "Rheumatism” is a disease of this sort. It is all but impossible to make the average man believe he is mistaken about it. He was taught :n his youth that going withoi.t a warm coat, get ting the feet wet. or sitting n a draught, would cause rheumatism. He hates to be disturbed in his convlotlon. Our grandparents thought every baby should cut its teeth on a rind of pork. They looked upon the tomato, or “love apple,” as they called it, as a dangerous fruit -eating it, they believed, would cause cancer. Sleeping in the moonlight, these , nc • ora ol ours were sure, would bring on In sanity. LftV W'-'* 4*iJ v ti). as regards rncuraaiLsra, icr instance, we huvc gore part the exposure idea of its cau\e. For sev eral years the "infective theory” has held the boards. That is, accord Ing to this idea, rheumatism Is due to the effects of the absorption of oodily poisons. Of course there are other factors. We cannot disregard the lowered powers of resistance which result from underfeeding or some thing else that lessens the nutrition of the body. Da/npness and exposure have their effects It cannot be de nied. Indeed every broken rule of' right living is a factor. From time to time I write about the evil effects of ‘‘lime starvation.” In childhood particularly it is vital to have an unfailing supply of lime. Without it all sorts of troubles! threaten. But there is another side trr the' lime question. There is such a thing as getting too much lime and for that matter too much phosphorus. These two minerals have an inti mate relationship to bone develop- < ment. Bone and Joint and tendon are close relatives. What disturbs the welfare of one may cause trou ble in the others. An excess of lime and phosphorus may 'cause, deposits in the tendons or between; them, as well as in the joints. I shall say more about this on i another occasion. It is an interest ing problem. But I was speaking about the in fection theory. According to this teaching, if we have diseased gums, abscessed teeth, infected tonsils or chronic infection somewhere else in the body, the germs may be carried through the blood stream to one or more of the joints. What happens then? Inflamma tion. Following it there are deposits and thickening of the tissue. Then nodules, nodes, lumps and deformi ties result. Thesfe swellings, or tumors, or lumps, or whatever you choose to call them, are to he felt under the skin, 'fhe skin moves freely over them and they appear to be fixed in place. Any of the Joints—the fin gers, knuckles, elbows, knees, an kles and even the bone under the scalp may be involved. These are some of the present day ideas about rheumatism. We cannot hope to find a means of overcoming the ailment unless we seek for its cause. The real factor may be a long way off from the painful part. Think over what I have said and see if your "rheumatic” pain is not due to an infection, wrong feeding, or a run-down state from any cause. There is some underlying condition which must be discovered and re moved. P. A. Q—What do you*advise for nose bleeds? A.—Have a careful examination to locate the cause of the trouble.

When he returned for his quart he was informed by this chemist friend that if he took a stiff drink out of the quart he would become stone blind. Smacking his lips some what in a disappointing way he emarked that that was too bad but reached over and picked up his bottle. "What are you going to do with it, pour it in the sink?" inquired the chemist. "No. I have a blind man spotted around the corner that I am go ing to sell it to," replied the Scotchman.
