Are You Nervous?
What makes you nervous? It is the weakness of your
womanly constitution, which cannot stand the strain of the
hard work you do. As a result, you break down, and ruin
your entire nervous system. Don t keep this up! Take
Cardui, the woman's tonic. Cardui is made from purely
vegetable ingredients. It acts gently on the womanly organs,
and helps them to do their proper work. It relieves pain
and restores health, in a natural manner, by going to the
source of the trouble and building up the bodily strength.
Cardui Woman's Tonic
Mrs. Grace Fortner, of Man, W. Va., took Cardui.
This is what she says about it: "I was so weak and
nervous, I could not bear to have anyone near me. I had
fainting spells, and I lost flesh every day. The first dose
of Cardui helped me. Now, I am entirely cured of the
fainting spells, and I cannot say enough for Cardui, for I
know it saved my life." It is the best tonic for women.
Do you suffer from any of the pains peculiar to women?
Take Cardui. It will help you. Ask your druggist

for honesty and good character after
all these trials he is of the right

the spoils are often spoiled. There
is no limit to the surprise that is in
store for the fellow who jumps upon
the world's broad back with the in-

A good many years ago horse steal-
ing became a profitable business for
the followers of the get-rlch-qulck
game. A trip through the country
at nleht and the annexation of a
good horse from some country barn-
yard at convenient stations along the
way. a market for the horses in the
morning in some town 30 miles from
where they were stolen, and then a
"get-away" bv passenger train for
the thieves before the news reached
the market places, was not an un-
common practice. From an oc-
casional raid of this character to
its transformation Into a profession
was a matter of logical development.
Then came the A. H. T A and the
