E HOME PAPER.
Why tf)/Twice-a-Week Republic
Achieved Such Wide
/ Popularity.
Established for nearly a cen
tury and read regularly by more
than 500,000 persons in the west
and southwest, the Twice-a-Week
Republic of St. Louis can justly
lay claim to that enviable dis
tinction, “Favorite Home Pa
per.”
It is great because it has al
ways aimed to inform, instruct
and entertain its readers on' all
matters of public and home in
terest. In 1904 it will be espe
cially interesting and valuable.
Here are some reasons why you
should subscribe for it:
This is campaign year and you
will want to be informed of the
movements of party leaders, re
ports of the great national and
I state conventions, the progress
of the campaign, reports of the
| election, etc.
You will want to know all
about the World’s Fair, to be
j held in St. Louis from April 30
to December 1,1904.
You will be interested in and
| kept well informed by the farm
! visitor, a regular supplement of
the paper, prepared especially
for the farmer and his family.
You will want to know what
the world is doing in every field
1 of activity, and through the un
surpassed news and special ser
vice of the twice-a-week Repub
lic you will not be disappointed.
In short sketches, choice bits
| of fiction, articles of interest to
women, children and household
suggestions the Twice-a-Week
Republic easily leads among the
weeklies of the great West.
If you want the Twice-a-Week
Republic sent to your address,
order it at once direct from the
office at St. Louis, Mo., or
through your local newsdealer.
It costs only $1 a year.

PJT1JINE OF CARDUI j
l^wj is a thoroughly i
'/ IJ scientific and mod- I
ern remedy, meet
ing the needs of the modem
woman in the modem way
—without the torture of an
operation. Wine of Gardui l
has cured them in the pri
vacy of their homes and it
has found a place in the
hearts of American women *-"■
that no other medicine has found. _ In
their gratitude over 10,000 American
women have written letters commend*
ing Wine of Cardui. Wine of Cardui
meets their wants as no other medicine
does. It sustains the young girl at the
shock of her entrance to womanhood.
Women who take Wine of Cardui have
little discomfort during pregnancy and
little pain at childbirth. When the
' change of life appears they enter a
happy, healthy old age. Every month it
comes to the rescue to assist Nature in
throwing the impurities from the body.
Miss Sarah Finley, of Memphis,
Tenn., vice-president of the Palmetto
Club of that city, speaks for herself and
many friends when she bestows the
following praise on Wine
of Cardui:
“Among the numerous
medicines placed before suf
fering women for their relief 1
none can touch McElree's
Wine of Cardui. It towers
above them all as a reliable
female remedy. It simply
drives pain and disease away
and restores health in an incredibly short
period. I have taken great interest in this
medicine for the past two years, since it
brought health and strength to me. I
have also recommended it to a number
of my friends and they who have used it
speak of it in the highest terms and I feel
that it is praise well bestowed.”
Tf you axe suffering from female
weakness Wine of Cardui is the medi
cine you need.
You can have health the same as
Miss Finley if you wilt take the Wine
of Cardui treatment. If you need ad
| vice further than the complete direc
tions given on the bottle,' address The
