substantial ga'ns. Feeders exhibit
continued confidence iu the future of
cattle prices, as their purchases here
last week were upwards of 18,000 head,
which was twice as many as went to
the same trade corresponding week
last year. The market, on country
grades is fir mtoday, tops selling at
$6.73 to $7.15, about one dollar higher
than a year ago. Buyers of stock
cattle take into consideration that one
third of the winter has been passed.
Stock cows and heifers are a quarter

Bad Spells
" I suffered, during girlhood, from womanly weakness,'!
writes Mrs. Mollie Navy, of Walnut, N. C. "At last, I was
almost bed-ridden, and had to give up. We had thfee
doctors. All the time, I was getting worse. I had bad
spells, that lasted from 7 to 28 days. In one week, after I
gave Cardui a trial, I could e.t, sleep, and joke, as well as
anybody. In 8 weeks, I was well. I had been an invalid
for 5 weary years ! Cardui relieved me, when everything
else failed." (
