rifle in the hands of her 12-year
old son Willie, who was demon
strating “how he shot birds.”

By Paracamph.
Mr E. L. Hawkins, 123 West 27th
St., New York City, Says:
“I have used Paracamph in a severe case
of Rheumatism, and will say that 1 got
immediate, relief. I h(o e tried almost
every preparation that is now before the
public, and find that Paracamph is with
! out question the best remedy for Rheu
; matistn. I wish you success and heartily
recommed raracamph ”
Mr Hawkins is only one out of many
| thousands that have been cured by the
wonderful penetrating remedy Paracamph
| This new remedy is a scientific preparn
| tion which when applied, opens the pores
i of the skin, allowing the soothing, cool
j ing oils to penetrate to seat of the ailment,
| removing the soreness and congestion,
| drawing out the fever and inflammation
| by inducing sweating. It sweats out the
j pain and aches, and this is Nature’s plan.
Don't ruin your stomach with strong
| internal medicines for Rheumatism, Neu
j ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. We guarantee
Paracamph to relieve and cure you if used
| as directed. If it fails your druggist will
refund your money. If your druggist don’t
i handle Paracamph ask him to get for you.
If he won’t do this send direct to us.
! But don’t take any substitute because there
! is nothing just as good. Paracamph is sold
j only in 25 cent, 50 cent, and $1.00 bottles.
The 50 cent size contains three times as
much as the 25 cent size; the $1.00 bottles
eight times as much as the 25 cent size.

Wine of Cardui. Mrs. I 1 1 *m now Very thankful that

States. Thousands of women gather to
: hear her lecture everywhere she goes.
Sie great work she has done for the
accabees is appreciated by every
member of the order. She was so ab
sorbed in her work that she neglected
to give her health proper care—failed
to take warning that the symptoms of
approaching kidney trouble gave her,
the sallow complexion and torpid liver.
But Wine of Cardui cured her the same
as it has cured thousands of others and
Mrs. McDonald has written this letter in
order that other suffering women may
secure from Wine of Cardui the same
relief she got from it.
"For four years 1 suffered with torpid
liver until my skin looked yellow and dull.
I then found my kidneys were affected and
had severe pains across my back, and 1 felt
ever since. I know there is nothing better
for a sick woman who wishf tc njoy per
feet health and am very pleased to give my
hearty endorsement.”
No suffering ■woman can afford to
ignore such a Tetter as Mrs. McDonald ^
writes. Her plans and advice have ! t J
proved valuable in building up one of
the greatest women’s organizations in \
the United States and she takes time to
give advice which she knows will help
you.
Do not delay in securing this medi
cine. There is nothing to gain and
everything to lose by delay. 1 he choice
is before you. Will or will you not
secure relief now by taking Wine of
Cardui ? All druggists sell $1.00 bottles
of Wine of Cardui as well as 25c pack
ages of Thedford’s Black-Draught.
