State Suffering From Drouth.
Specia lto Independent.
Little Rock, June 9. — Ark-'
ansas is suffering from the j
most protracted dry season in j
years, and crops are beginning j
to suffer greatly for the want |
of moisture. With the excep
tion of two slight showers ear-,
ly in May, there has been no
rain here since May 5, when j
the rainfall slightly exceeded
two inches.
Gardens are drying up, and
the lack of vegetables is seen
on the market.. Corn is very
backward, while cotton, both on
the uplands and in the low-lands
is suffering greatly- It is burn
ing up on the high lands, and is
beginning to shrivel on the low
lands. Everywhere it shows a
weak and uncertain stand and
a lack of vitality.

SEVERE PUNISHMENT
Of Mrs. Chapped, of Five Years*
Standing, Relieved by Cardoi.
Mt. Airy, N. C.—Mrs. Sarah M. Chap
pell of this town, says: "I suffered for
five years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could ted.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about Cardui, the wo
man's tonic, nd I decided to try it I
had not taken out about six bottles until
i was almost cured. It did me more
good than all the other medicines 1 had
tried, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and I tala them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it"
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache,
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
feeling?
If so, let us urge you to give Cardui a
trial. We feel confident it will help you,
just as it has a million other women in
the past half century.
Begin taking Cardui to-day. You
won't regret it Ail druggists.
