Side Quit Hurtipg,
Got Stronger, Well;
CARDUI Helped Her
Mrs. R. L. West, of Huntsville,
Ala., writes: “I was weak and
run-down. I had a pafc in my side,
and I kept losing weight. I grew
nervous over my condition—this was
unusual for me, for I am very cheer-
ful when I am well and don’t easily
get nervous. I knew I ought to take
something. My aunt told me I ought
to try Cardui, which I did. I began
to feel better. I kept it up until I
had taken three or four bottles. My
side quit hurting and I was soon,
feeling strong and well.”
Cardui is sold at drug stores here,

The pole fell across the street, bare-
ly missing an automobile.and a team
of mules hitched to a wagon. The
pole was smashed.
