FAVORITE HOME PAPER.
Why the Tvvice-a-Week Republic
Has 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
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
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
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.

pjpiHERE ARE MANY
sickly women be

the change of life which was
fast approaching. While vis
iting with a friend I noticed
that she was taking your
Wine of Cardui, and she was
so enthusiastic about it that I
decided to try a bottle. I ex
perienced some relief the first
month, so I kept on taking it
for three months and now I

her a new lease on life. Those who
meet this change in ill health sel
dom live ten years afterward, while
a woman who lays aside the active
duties of womanhood in health sel
dom fails to live on in happiness,
years after she has passed 60. This
is truly a critical time.
Mrs. Laura S. Webb, of Toledo,
Ohio, recognizes the change of life
as a dangerous period and she also
has faith in Wine of Cardui. She
writes:
“As I had always been troubled more
or less at the menstrual period, I dreaded
J_MLJ» —L i_li1.11— — ■!»>- ~ mill—<—
until I have passed the climax. I do not
dread it now, as I am sure that your I
tfine of Gardui will be of great benefit
at this time.”
Wine of Cardui is the remedy to j
re-inforce a woman against the shock i
that comes with the change of life. |
It re-establishes healthy functions
after years of suffering. In doing
this it has saved thousands of suf
ferers just in time. Do not wait
until suffering is upon you. Thor
ough preparations should be made
in advance. Begin the Wine of i;
Cardui treatment today. I
