^REMARKABLE CURE OF

, Mr. Michael Doran, employed by the
American Bridge Co., Youngstown, O.,
Writes: “I want to say for the benefit
Of my fellowmen that I have been suf
fering for a long time with acute
IRheumatism in my knees. I had tried
[every kind of remedy, including an
[expensive course of electrical treat
ment, but all of no avail. One day at
Ithe suggestion of my druggist I took ’
A bottle of raraeamph to try. The
[effect of Its use was magical. I got '
relief at once, and after using three
lor four bottles I believe I am perma- !
nently cured. It is certainly a won
jflerful remedy, and ui>on my advice
A number of friends have tried Para
camph, and the verdict is unanimous '
flint it will do all that is claimed for
It”. Don’t suffer from Rheumatism,
Lumbago, Sore and Stiff Joints. Use j
IParacamph. It has cured others and
, Will cure you. Your druggist will sell
\ St to you on a guarantee of satisfaction
I \ or money refunded. No cure, no pay.

family sizes 50c and $1.00. If you have
never tried Paracamph we will send you
a trial size free. Write to-day. £ The

LETTER TO MR. J. E. DOHER
TY, NEWPORT, ARK.
Dear Sir:—It’s an old saying:
the best advertisement is a pleas
ed customer.
It happens to us continually in
this way: A man buys Devoe for
his house—he has painted it
once in three years for a dog’s
age, and thinks he knows what
he wants—buys 30 gallons and
has 10 left.
He sees right off that 20 Devoe
is as much as 30 of anything
else. He likes that; it comes
quick; it is a surprise; and he
tells of it. The best advertise
ment is a pleased customer.
Three years roll round. There
isn’t a sisrn that his house needs
'paint: he don’t paint it. Next
year he don’t paint it. This
comes slow; it is a surprise; but
he has got used to it. Still the
best advertisement is a pleased
customer. Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
New York and Chicago.

I am happy and pleased to attest to the value of Wine of Cardui for pros
pective mothers. I took it for three months before mv darling baby came and
I suffered so little pain I felt I was an exception. The child is happy and
i healthy and the sunshine of my life. I had hardly any trouble after she was
born, and after eleven days was up doing my entire housework and feeling
| better than I had felt for years. I am the en^y of my neighbors because of the
unusually healthy child I have and because I never bad a sick day myself I
give the entire credit to Wine of Cardui,
for I was sickly, pale and thin before I took *7/ . y
it, but since I'have used it I have been in
perfect health, have gained fourteen ' Vice-President,
