lay Claim to that enviable dis
tinction, “Favorite Home Pa

movements of party leaders, re
ports of the great national and
state conventions, the progress
of the campaign, reports of th^
election, etc.

about the World’s Fair, to l^e
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 wha
, ■ - J
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

HEN Miss Rose Owens, who
has a responsible position in
'I the Government service at
-WcsVi^j-rtnn, D. C., decided to
try Wine of Cardui, she made a wise
choice. Over a million women have
' been relieved of female weakness by this

! strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. It does not force results, but
corrects derangements of the menstrual
organs. It strengthens the nervous

her by the Ladies’ Advisory Depart

advice by just buying a $1.00 bottle of
Wine of Cardui from her druggist and
taking this great medicine in thepri

cured women have written. Is this not
enough to lead vou to determine to be
rid of suffering?
August 13, 1900, Mrs. W. H. Jones,
of Cameron, Mo., writes:
“I suffered terribly at monthly periods
for three years. I would sometimes go for
seven months with no flow at all. Now
I have my health back again and am
expecting to be confined in January. I
cannot praise your medicine enough.”
