From this class of wreaklings come,
in a large measure, the criminals
and the insane.
! S n e heredity and alcoholism and
a’coho ic insanity are transmitted
to succeeding generations, would
you think it harsh to prevent this
transmission by the enactment of
laws that will either segregate or
sterilize the victims of these mala-
dies in order to prevent their kind?
Nerve impairment, however, induc-
ed, is sure to reach the offspring.
Therefore, the child of a drunkard
is in the same category as the child
of an epileptic or lunatic.
| The California State' Commission
in lunacy says: “Every healthy,
1 normal man, who from any cause,
ei her from alcoholic debauchery or
other exce ses, lowers the tone of
hit vital forces and afterward prop-
agates the species, is prepaiing the
soil which will bring forth a class
of degenerates, many of whom will
be insane, criminals, feeble minded
or iaio ic.”
| Every unbiased man who investi-
gates as to the cause of insanity in
11 is conn ry must admit that hered-
ity and a coho ism are responsible
for at least 90 per cent of our in-
sanity.—Dalles News.

In discussing the problem and in-
crease of insanity in New York
State, Dr. Albert Warren Ferris,
president of the State Lunacy "Com-
mission of New York, uses the fol-
lowing language: “Thirty per cent
of the male cases we have are in-
sane from alcoholic causes and 26
per cent of the female cases.”
Dr. Fenis says: “Fight such
avoidable causes of insanity as her-
edity and alcohol. We must have
speakers to teach and demonstrate
the law of heredity and the hered-
ity efefc s of alcohol upon the race.”

Be Happy!
Happy the girl, or woman, who has never suffered from
any of the diseases of womanhood! Or, if she has been a
sufferer, happy is she if she has learned of the wonderful
benefirs of Cardui, the woman’s tonic!
Cardui is a gentle, tonic remedy, for women’s ailments.
It is a natural medicine—safe, harmless, purely vegetable.
It has been in successful use for more than 50 years. It
has cured thousands. It should do the same for you.
TAKE
LARDU1 Woman's Tonic
Mrs. Mary Neely, of Denver, Tenn., says, “I think
there is no tonic on earth, as good as Cardui I used it
with the very best results. I had backache and nearly
everything a woman could suffer with, until I took Cardui.
Now, I fee! better than I have for two years. I shall
always recommend Cardui to other suffering women. I
can’t praise it too highly. As a medicine for weak, tired,
worn-out women, Cardui is safe and reliable. Try it, today.
