MISS ROSE OWENS,
No. 720 Seventeenth St.,
WASHINGTON, D. C,
)
If «very sufferidg woman
has the tame experience with
Vine of Cardui that I had,
you* medicine will be most
popular. About a year ago
I began to have a worn out
tired feeling with lassitude,
pains in the back and head
which kept increasing every
month. I felt that I needed
something, but to get the
right medicine was the trou-
ble. I finally decided on
your Wine of Cardui and only needed to
take three bottles when I was fully re-
covered."
fsaTIHEN Miss Rose Owens, who
I Jn I has a responsible position in
I " I the Government service at
Washington, B. C\, decided to
try Wine of Cardui, she made 11 wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. It is not a
Mui Rou on em.

om
strong medicine but may be taken even-
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. I^does not force results, hut
corrects derangements of the menstrual
organs. It strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func-
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic for wo-
men known to the science of medicine.
If you are a suffering wo-
man we would say to y
that Wine of Cardui seltlc
fails to completely cure any
case of female ills. We say
emphatically, it never fails
to benefit. Kvery day hun-
dreds of sufferers are writing
to our Ladies' Advisory De-
partment. The letters are
opened by persons compe-
tent to give advice. Mrs.
Jones was cured by follow-
ing the advice which was freely given
her by the Ladies' Advisory Depart-
ment. Miss Owens was cured without
advice l y just buying u 81.00 bottle of
Wine of Cardui from her druggist and
taking this great medicine in the pri-
vacy of her home. No doctor's ex-
amination, treatment or advice is nec-
essary. You have read what these two
cureu women have written. Is this not
enough to lead vou to determine to be
rid of suffering?
August 13, 1900, Mrs. W. II. Jones,
of Cameron, Mo., writes:
"I suffered terribly at monthly periods
for three years. I would sometimes go for
seven months with no flow at all. Now
I have my health back again and am
e.-.pecting to be confined in January. I
cannot praise your medicine enough."

GOLD FOUND ,
IN ALABAMA
New York, Dec. 30.—Something of a
Hurry was caused in Wall street, says
the World, by the formal announce-
ment that gold had been discovered in
Alabama in sufficient quantities to
make the mining1 of It profitable.
There was more of a flurry when it was
announced that none of the stock was
to be placed on sale.
Kor more than two years the land
has been worked secretly. A twenty-
stamp mill was erected even without
the knowledge of the natives.
Chance led to the discovery of the
vein of ore. Then a company was
formed and the stock bought up by
New York. Philadelphia and Washing-
ton capitalists before the news became
public. The value of the ore has been
averaging $36 a ton for the past sixty
Uays and another twenty-stamp mill is
joing up.
The mine Is twenty miles from An-
nlston, Ala., and seventy miles from
Birmingham. The ledge or ore runs
for a mile and a half northeast and
Bouthwest. The pay streak varle« in
width from two to four feet.
