The eun was just sinking behind the mountains near the border lino between Tennessee and North Carolina, at the close ot a beautiful fall day. in November, 1826, when a party of emigrants, after a hard day's travel, pitched their tents for tho night. A daughter of one of the emigrants had Just arrived at the ago of puberty nnd was suf? fering violently. An old squaw in a nolghboriog Indian village, hearing of the girl's agony, mado a tea from some herbs sho had gathered and gave it to tho sufferer. The girl was immediately relieved and her menses appeared for the first timo.

The mother was so'overcome with i gratitude that she begged some of the herbs, the seeds of which she took to her new home in Tennessee. These herbs were raised by this family and their descendants from year to year for several generations, and gained a famous local reputation as a cure for menstrual derangements of women. In the year 1880 the Chattanooga Medlcino Company, manu? facturer's of Thedford's Black-Draught, the great Southern remedy for liver, stomach, bowel and kidney diseases, secured control of the herbs that had descended from tho stock procured from tho squaw, nnd commenced tho manufactnro upon improved sclentlflo principles of what Ib now known as McElroe's Wine of Cardul. This pure vegetable Wine has proved to bo almost a specific In tho cure of all diseases peculiar to women where it is used according to directions. It has cured thousands of cases of leucorrhcoa: as many more of falling of tho womb, and still more of suppressed, too frequent and irregular appearance of the menses.

It relieves women of thoso fearful pains In tho head, neck, shoulders, back, hips, arms, logs and bowels which make so many ef them miserable at each return of the monthly period. It is tho most astonishing tonio for weak, debilitated women tho world has ever It restores wasted muscles, flesh and energy, and gives beauti? ful complexions, rosy cheeks and robust health. j. For tho Chango of Lifo nothing equals Wine of Cardul. During pregnancy nnd aftor child-birth and miscarriage, women find it of incalculable benofit.

No other medicine has been so successful in bringing children to barren homes. It has proven equally effective and necessary for tho girl In her teens, tho young wife with her domestic and matornal cares, nnd tho woman approaching the Turn of Life. Wlno of Cardul has done all and more than this article relates. It may not entirely euro every case of the diseases for which it Is recommended, but its history proves that' It is by far tho most universally successful medicine of its class on the market. It is Bold In $1.00 bottles by all druggists in every State and Territory of tho Union and In ionie of tho foreign countries, and is enthusiastically endorsed by leading physicians, prominent druggists and chemists, and thousands of the best women in America.

MENSTRUAL TROUBLES. There is hardly an American home in which some occupant does not suffer from Irregular or painful menstruation. Thon Bands of women dread the approach of the monthly period as a time of torturo. Hut have yet to hear of a case of painful or Irregular menstruation which Wlno of Cardui will not bonofit. It always drives away tho dreadful bearing-down pains and hendaohes and backaches.

There is abso? lutely no excuse for prolonging your illness day. Think of tho dlfferenoo between the Buffering you now endure and what would feel as a thoroughly well woman, you take Wine of Oardul as directed yon will not have moro or those severo Iialns in the head, neck, baok, arms and egs. You will escape that distressing Sumbness, dizziness and nervouness, like Brown did. Read her story: Jacksonville, Jan. 23, 1809.

I take pleasure in writ inj; you at this timo to thank you for the benefit 1 have re? ceived from yonr advice and Witioof Cardui and Black-Draught. In my terrible condition, about which I wrote yo.u, my life was no pleasure to myselt and I was of no use to anybody. I thought my good hus? band was tired of me and slighted me, for 1 had been only a sick boarder in his houso for four long years. After receiving yonr advice and medicine I commenced taking tho Wino of Cardui and Mack-Draught, following closoly your instructions.and immediately began tu im? prove. Tho pains left me, my menses canto at the correct time, continued only twodays.

I gained strength and my weight has Increased five pounds. My husband Bays the medicine has made mo bettor look? ing than I over wns, and that 1 am what ho would call beautiful. Do you wonder that I thank God for what He and your wonder? ful medicine have done for me? Mrs. 11. R.

BROWN. I LEUCORRHCEA. Cleanliness and Wine of Cardul are the natural foes of leucorrhooa. It is foolish to let this drain upset your nervous system and make you an invalid. It will not cure itself, but it can be drain stopped, and the pains banished.

Persons who suiter with leucorrhcea miss half the pleasures of life. The first thing spoken of by almost every one cured by Wine of Cardul is how much they enjoy different things seem. There is nothing which will drain the sap and life of a wo? man like there is nothing which will put it back quicker than Wino of Cardui. It stops the debilitating drains and tones up tho whole system. It is un equnled as a womanly tonic.

Taken with Black-Draught it will relieve any case of female trouble. Qowen, L.T., March 22,1899. I think Wine of Cardul is the greatest medlcino in the world for ladies. 1 was down three years from tho I tried all the doctors in town nnd noarly every medicine the druggist had for women, but. I had to take to my bed.

Finally a lady friend said Wineof Cardul would cure me. It gave me so much relief 1 have never been without it since. 1 am now well. I will do everything I can to get other women to take Wine of Cardui. Mrs.

F. M. DILLE. FALLING OF THE WOMB. When the womb moves from its proper position It drag's and pulls upon the liga? ments which hold it in place, causing fric? tion and inflammation.

A moment's thought will show you what a drain this Is. It. ul ways means weakness and irrita? bility, and usually headache und terrible uterine pains If you have any symptoms of falling or displacement of the womb, you ought to take Wine of Cardui at once. Don't let it run a day longer. All sorts of dangerous dlscnses grow from It.

Think Of me women who die every year because their worn trouble was neglected too long. Then think what Wino of Cardui has done for those who havo taken it. If it will cure thousands of other woman made just as you are, suffering just tho namrt, it will surely cure you. How con it fall? Why not profit by Mrs. Browning's experience, aud get a bottle of Wine of Cardui to-day Delcarbo, July 10,1898.

1 suffered with falling of tho womb for about three years. 1 would tako weak spells, and could hardly stand on my feet long enough to got a menl of victuals with? out lying down. I tried many different medicines, but nothing seemed to do me pood until I commenced with McElree's Wino of Cardui and Thcdford's Black Draught. My improvement is simply wonderful, and I feel like another person, i M. BROWNING.

BARRENNESS. 1416 South Fifth Street, Omaha, March 12,1809. We had been married eleven years, but no children had been born to us. After getting your advice, 1 have followed your directions closely, and with only threa bottles of MoElree'a Wiho of Cardul and two packages of Black-Draught, I was entirely cured, and soou after became preg? nant, and am expecting to be confined next month. MRS.

EMMA BUFFJNGTOS. We have thousands of other letters which show what Wine of Cardui will do toward blessing a childless home. Could there bo stronger proof? Wiue of Cardtd always cures those common derangements of the menstrual functions, weaknesses in the organs, tendencies to miscarriage, and slight displacement of the womb, which usually prevents child bearing. Wo havo vet to near of such a case where It has been fruitlessly used. Don't despair.

Try Wine of Cardul. PREGNANCY. Wine of Cardul streupthons the orgAns of motherhood, drives away nervous ter? rors, relieves morning sickness, and leads the way to easy and natural labor. Oolweln.Ia., May 0,1800. I heartily recommend McElree's Wlnoof Cardui and Black-Draught for use during pregnancy.

1 could not eat anything, and had frequent spells of vomiting wnen 1 commenced nsing these medicines, but after that I had a good appetite, and did not vomit any more. MRS. W. M. LARGE.

CHANGE OF LIFE. This functional change which comrs to a woman makes the period between 40 and 1 60 one of the most critical in her life. If the "Change of Lifo" Is passed safely she may expect to live to a happy old age. Wlinn proper treatment is not secured at this time few women aro really ever well ogain. They quickly becomo nervous, "fidgety," unlovely old creatures, no com fbrtto themselves or tbclr families.

There is nothing like Wine oi Cardul to help women over this dangerous period. Those who take It when tho first menstrual irreg? ularity gives warning ot the approaching change, havo a peaceful, long life as a reward. They will grow old gracefully and enjoy lifo to the end. If you nro near the time when yon expect the "Change of Life." fortify yourself by getting Wiue of Cardui at your nearest drug store to-day. Black-Draught assimilates with the Wine, and should always he used In connection with it.

Many contented grandmothers owe their happinesss to these medicines. Concordia, Fob. 28,1899. I think it my duty to write you about myself. I nm 44 years old.

nnd was very sick last summer from the "Change of Life." Two of the best doctors of Grand after treating-me, eavo mo up to die. As a last resort I tried ine of Cardui. I am hnjipy to say' it helped mo from the first dose. After using it awhile I whs in better health than for many years. Another spell has lately como on me, and I sent down town last night for a bottlo of Wine of Cardui again.

After taking it a few hours 1 am rery much better to-day. It is a pleasure to mo to tell others about this wonderful medicine. MKS. M. W.

RANDOLPH. YOUNG WIVES. Every young wife needs Wine of Cardul. It prevents all weakening drains upon her system, and prepares her for every duty of wlfchood and motherhood, "foung wives can save themselves many hours of anxiety and suffering by sendlnxfi Cents in slumps to the Chattanooga Medicine Company, Chattanooga. for a copy of Dr.

McElree's 128-pnge Borne Treatment Book. This book describes all female and family diseases', and is needed in every home. Mrs. Lucy Perkins, 238 Faton Street. Knoxville, wrote to our Ladles' Advisory Department on April 1,1898: "1 had good health until alter 1 married.

At the time of my monthly sickness, 1 suffer terrible misery; 1 also have heart palpita? fact, my whole system seems out of order. I am low spirited, nervous nnd cross. I nm very much out of lieHrt. Do you think Wine of Cardul could help a case like mine?" We advised Mrs. Perkins to fake Wine of Cardui nnd Black-Draught, and this is what she wrote July 15, 1898: am Ink? ing tho third bottle of Wine of Cardui now, and am feeling better than I have for months.

1 have taken nothing but the Wine of Cardui and Black-Draught since April, and expect to continue using them." YOUNG GIRLS. Mothers who give their daughters Wine of Cardul at the age of puberty see them develop Into healthy, attractive women. The Wine helpB a Kirlio form correct men? strual habits, and upon her menstrual hubits depends the health she vf 111 have for all her lifo. Trousdnle, March 15,1899. I must wrlto end tell you how much good your Wine of Cardul has done my little girl.

She is 18 years old, and hud never seen a well day until we commenced giving her the Wine, and it acted like a charm. We tbank God for your wonderful medi? cine, and uroy that he may bless you iu your work. MKS. DELP11Y AKERS. WORKING WOMEN.

Standing or sitting in the same position all day induces falling of the womb, leu and headache. Taken before the menstrual period, Wino of Cardul braces up tho system, lessens the suffering, enables woman to work with? out losing time and used faithfully, it will finally cure her. Society women, who work Just as hard in another way, find that it enables them to do their duty with youthful spirit ami bright face. Wine of Cardui will do for any woman nil that it did for Airs. Robluson.

Isn't It worth a trial? Trinchcra, Dec. 15,1898. Last summer you advised me to take Wine of Cardul nod Black-Draught. I have taken a bottle, nnd 1 am glad to let yon know that 1 am better ever since I took tho first nino doses. When I first commenced taking your medicines I was in bed, and I tried several doctors and they didn't do me any good, nnd now lean do all my own work und not get tiled.

1 think I have had all the troubles that could nfllict a poor woman; my hack hurt, as did my head and legs, and I had sick stomach every time 1 ale anything. Now I can eat anrthing and not hurt me, ami don't get litcd. MBS. CORA ROBINSON. LADIES' ADVISORY DEPARTMENT.

Newport News, Nov. police have learned that a number of counter llet 5-cent pieces, or nlckles, are in circulation in the city, and are mak? ing itn effort to run down the parties who are putting them out. Last evening Chief of Police Har wood found three of the spurious nickels in a grocery store at the cor? ner of Lafayette avenue and Twenty eighth street. The proprietor had Italien thein in and did not discover that they were worthless until he went to count his cash. He turned them over to the Chief.

The proprietors of the variety thea? tres report that efforts have been made In the past few days to pass counterfeit nlckles on them. They were refused at the box otlices and none were taken In. In most instances the parties trying to pass them were negroes. it Is believed that a lot of this spurious coin has been put in circu? lation here. The counterfeit nickels nre of the regulation size nnd arc stamped on both sides with dies of correct design.

The impression is very light, however, and a close examination shows that the detail is not as good as that the good nickels. All of the coins are dated 1807. They nre'a trille lighter thnn the genuine coin. OiLiS'X'O swj the" Haw Always 6k LEXINGTON. REOPENING OF INSTITUTE DEATHS FROM FEVER.
