LETTER TO MR. J. W.
GRUBBS, NEWPORT, ARK.
Dear Sir: You are interested
in the prosperity of your town.
You can contribute to it materi
ally. and give it a far more pros
perous look at the same time.
Perhaps the public property
needs a good coat of paint.
Devoe will supply that coat
! with two thirds of the number of
gallons required of any other.
Devoe is all paint and full meas
ure. Devoe is the strongest paint
known. Devoe will take care of
the property, in the long run, for
half the money required by any
other.
The reason is stated above;
Devoe is all paint and full meas
ure; the strongest paint known.
E. D. Jewel, Corry, Pa., paint
ed his house 5 years ago with a
mixed paint; took 14 gallons.
Last spring he repainted with
Devoe; bought 14 gallons and
had 4 left. Saved $15 to $20,
for painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,

heautiful with its dainty decora

Mrs. Dorsey, who is ever a
most charming hostess, received
her guests in that hospitable
style that is peculiar to Southern

afternoon to the teachers was
greatly enjoyed and added much
to the happiness of those pres

fTTriRS. McDonald,
• |r| No.477 Beaubien
11 ■ I Street, Detroit,
Mich., is a prom
inent woman who was
greatly benefited by the
creat woman’s medicine,
Wine of Cardui. Mrs.
McDonald is the supreme
deputy of the Maccabees
of the World, and one of
the most widely known
women in the United
States. Thousands of women gather to
hear her lecture everywhere she goes.
The great work she has done for the
Maccabees 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 I 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 I felt
that I must do something
to regain my health. A
friend advocated your Wine
of Cardul treatment so
strongly that I decided to
try it, although I had little
faith in patent medicines.
I am now very thankful that
I did so, for within ten days
blessed relief came to me,
and in less than three
months I was cured, and
have enjoyed fine health
ever since. I Know there is notning Better ■
for n sick woman who wishes to enjoy per* B
feet health and am very pleased to give my
hearty endorsement'*
No suffering woman can afford to
ignore inch a Tetter as Mrs. McDonald
writes. Her plans and advice have
proved valuable in building _ up tme 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. The 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.
