HELPLESS AS BABY
■' ■
Down in Mind Unable to Work,
and What Helped Her.
Summit Point, W. Va.~Mrs. Anna
Belle Etney, of this place, says: “I suf
fered for 15 years with an awful pain in
tny right side, caused from womanly
trouble, and doctored lots for it, but with
out success. 1 suffered so very much,
that 1 became down in mind, and as help
less as a baby. 1 was in the worst kind
of shape, was unable to do any work.
I began taking Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, and got relief from the very first
dose. By tne time 1 had taken 12 bot
tles, my health was completely restored.
1 am now 48 years years old, but feel as
good as 1 did when only 16.
Cardui certainly saved me from losing
my mind, and 1 feel it my duty to speak
in its favor. 1 wish I had some power
over poor, suffering women, and could
make them know tne good it would do
them.” "*«•* i
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, it will certainly be
worth your while to give Cardui a trial.
It has been helping weak women for
more than 50 years, and will help you,
too.
Try Cardui. Your druggist sells it

McV ay Now In Penitentiary.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 7—John Mc
^ ay, the one-legged white man
1 i’om Jefferson county, once un
der the shadow of the gallows
for murder, has been transferred
from the State Insane Asylum to
the state penitentiary.
It is one of the state’s noted
cases in the state’s criminal his
tory. He was convicted of the
murder of J. T. Ethridge at Pine
Bluff, and sentenced to hang.
He became insane and a strong
appeal was made to Gov. Robin
son to save his life. The gov
ernor went to Pine Bluff in per
son to make an investigation,
and then granted a commutation
to life imprisonment on account
of insanity. The convict was
then transferred to the insane
asylum, and several days ago
Dr- Green certified that he had
sufficiently recovered to be re
turned to the penitentiary. Two
of his brothers, Cully, and Ed
McVay, who were convicted of
murder in the second degree in
connection with the same crime,
and sentenced to twelve years in
the penitentiary, are now on the
state farm. John McVay is un
able to work on the farm, and
will probably be given employ
ment in the tailor shop.
James Cartwright, a white
man who was convicted in Faulk
ner county in Octobei’, 1909, of
murder in the second degree for
the murder of his wife, has also
been transferred from the asy
lum to the penitentiary. He has
a sentence of 21 years.

Mine Rescue Station.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 7.—Senator
Robinson and Congressmen Win
go and Goodwin have become in
terested in the project to secure
a mine rescue station for Ark
ansas. An effort is to be made
to secure an appropriation
through Congress for the pur
pose of locating a station at Fort
Smith, the most available point
for all sections of the district.
State Labor Commissioner Cla
ry, who has been working on the
proposition for some time is con
fident of success
It will cost $8000 a year to
maintain the station, and this is
provided by the government. It
will cost $7,000 to install the sta
tion, and this must be provided
by the state or by private sub
scriptions, and it is believed
there will be no great difficulty
in raising that amount in the
coal district. Mr. Clary has had
considerable correspondence on
the subject with the Congress
ional delegation and the United
States Bureau of Mining. George
Sengel, president of the Fort
Smith Commercial organization,
is also interested in the project.
There is now a station at McAl
ester, Oklahoma, but that is not
near enough to the Arkansas
field for the most efficient ser
vice.

A PHYSICIAN'S DIAGNOSIS 0?
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
A Seemingly Common Disease
which Becomes Fatal through
Neglect and which May B*
Readily Cured by Prompt At
tention,
More tliav two thirds of the annual
death rate, pin siciaus claim, is directly
traceable to kidney disorders.
Interested by this remarkable asser
tion and desiring to acquire a better un
derstanding of the origin of the disease,
a prominent physician was recently in
terviewed as to the symptoms of such
troubles.
“To what do you attribute the great
destructiveness ol kidney disease”’ was
asked.
“The hold which the disease gains lu
the body before the victim becomes aware
of his true condition, and the rapidity
with which it eats its way into the vital
organs.”
“Would not the proverbial ‘ounce o|
prevention’ check the progress of tha
disease?”
“There is no doubt of it. The trouble
is that victims of this disease mistake
the symptoms for some trifling ailment
in the stomach or bowels; therefore they
do nothing to arrest the course of the
disease until it is well advanced.”
“What is the origin of kidney trouble?’
“Almost invariably bad digestion, fol
lowed by torpid liver and a constipated
habit.”
“What are the symptoms?”
“Headache, dizzy spells, suiggisk
brain, restless nights, pale or sallow
skin, bad breath, lack of appetite, heart*
burn, sour belching, backache or tender
ness over the kidneys, nervous weak
ness, dark rings around the eyes, tired
feeling, too much or too little urine, and
sediment in uriue.”
*
ITS EFFECT ON THE HEART.
■ I
“In what way is the heart affected from
kidney trouble?”
“In all cases the heart is disturbed,
though in many instances the palpita
tion does not become alarming until the
disease has advanced to a serious point.
A severe heart throbbing and nervous
trembling is noticeable, especially aftei
a little bodily exercise; the victim fre
quently imagines he has heart disease."
HOW TO CURE IT.
“What is the proper course of treat
ment for kidney disease?”
“First, to get rid of uric acid and othe*
poisons in the system. This can be done
by stimulating the bladder and bowels
so that they will act more freely. The
suffering kidneys must be strengthened,
the liver and stomach toned up and the
digestion improved.”
Prickly Ash Bitters is a remedy that
answers these requirements completely.
It is not only a system tonic and regis
lator, but its healing and restorative in*
fluence will build up the weakened kid
neys and urge them to a better perform
ance of their duties. It gives strength
and tone to the liver, stomach and head
and promotes harmony of action through
out the body.
M. W. Burr, village blacksmith and respected
citizen of Starks, 14., says: ‘‘I was troubled with
kidney and liver disorder for 18 years. X was (a
continual misery until I began taking Prickly
Ash Bitters which has entirely cured me, and 1
am now a atrong, healthy and hearty man. 1
give It to my wife and four children and they nr*
in the heat of health, too. I feel that Prickly Ask
Bitters ill tha beat remedy on earth and that
everybody should keep a bottle at home.”
