HELPLESS AS BABY
Down in Mind Unable to Work,
and What Helped Her.
Summit Point, W. Va.—Mis. Anna
Belle Emey, of this place, says: ”1 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. I 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 womar’s
tonic, and got relief from the very first
dose. By the 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 I feel it my duty to speak
in its favor. I wish I had some power
over poor, suffering women, and could
make them know the good it would do
them.”
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 yean, and will help you,
too.
Try Cardui. Your druggist sells it

S We have often wondered why men would leave Ark- jus

^ ■ now doing, when the lands in our own country are so
cheap* eITu
[us In the last ten years land in Arkansas has advanced [ycj
104 per cent. What do you expect in the next ten ^
ara years? We are just now taking the first real step in ad
!Hfji vancement.
iyEj We have some tracts of land that will pay the pur- ^
qjh chaser even more than ten per cent on the pur- jyj=j
~ chase price; anyway, each year it pays you 10 per cent on
aru your money and you get the increase in valuation. Can
lara you beat this for an investment? an!

Attorney General Moose had ad

for him not to do so. Mr. Cart
