West Baden, Ind.—"For about four
years," says Mrs. Sarah Dillinger, of
this place, "I suffered with an ailment
common to women, and I was so poor-
ly that 1 could not do my work.
Since taking Cardui, the woman's
tonic, I am stout, and able to work all
day, hard. It Is certainly a great
medicine for women. I recommend
It to a great many ladies.
My daughter Is now taking Cardui,
and It seems to be helping her al-
! re&<ly, although she has now taken
only one bottle.
Cardui Is the best medicine I ever
took. It has done me so much good!
It saved my life, and I can't praise
It too much."
Every woman would always keep
Cardui handy, for use when needed, If
she knew what benefit it gives. In
cases where weake.ied vitality makes
the body and brain seem tired and
worn-out.
A few doses of Cardui, at the right
time, will often save much suffering
by preventing a more serious sick-
ness.
To relieve pain and misery, due to
womanly troubles, nothing has been
found, during the 50 years that It has
been before the public to take the
place of Cardui.

\\ ashington.—Simultaneously with
the arrival of Senor Manuel Calero,
| the new ambassador of Mexico to
i this country, Dr. Policarpo Rueda, rep-
resentative of Emilo Vasquez Gomez,
I provisional president of Mexico, ap-
peared in Washington to ask the gov-
^ eminent to recognize the belligerency
of the provisional government. Both
| issued statements Sunday.
Hhe uprising has been confined lo
; 'he state of Chihuahua," said Am-
bassador Calero's statement, in part,
"in spite of what has been said to the
contrary, and is dally being repeated
in the United States. Disturbances
exist, It is true, in other portions of
the republic, not political In character
but are rather brigandage on a
more or less scale."
In his statement, which is address
ed to the American people, Dr. Rueda
declares:
"The provisional government is a
fully organized political state, capable
of discharging the duties of a govern-
ment by enforcing the laws and pro-
tecting life and property, and meeting
its foreign obligations. It holds two
states and many cities and towns; it
has an established seat of govern-
ment; it is supported by the people
and is a homogeneous and popular or-
ganization, carrying on trade, manu-
factures and war."
Dr. Rueda says the provisional gov-
ernment is "in every respect a de-
facto government, worthy of recogni-
tion os such, and entitled to all the
rights of a belligerent."

FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST
To the head of every family th
health of Its different members ia
most Important, and the value of an
agreeable laxative that is certain In
Its effect is appreciated. One of the
most popular remedies In the family
medicine chest Is a combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation Is mild and gentle in its-
action on the bowels, yet positive in
its effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in a short time to again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald-
well's Syrup Pepsin in 50c and $1.0fr
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive, yet effective
remedy, write to Dr. W. B. Caldwell,
201 Washington St., Monticello, 111.,,
and ask for a sample bottle. Dr. Cald-
well will be glad to send it wlthoot
