FELT BAD

Shellhorn Lady Suffered a Great
Deal, But Is All Right Now.
Shellhorn, Ala.—In a letter from this
place, Mrs. Carrie May sa.vs: "A short
time ago, I commenced to have weak
spells and headaches. I felt bad all
the time, and soon grew so bad I
couldn't stay up. I thought I would die.
At last my husband got me a bottle
of Cardui, and it helped me so he got
some more. After I had taken the
second bottle, I was entirely well.
I wish every lady, suffering from
womanly trouble, would try Cardui.
It is the best medicine I know of. It
did me more good than anything I ever
used."
Cardui is a woman's tonic—a
strengthening medicine for women,
made from ingredients that act spe
cifically on the womanly organs, and
thus help to build up the womanly con
stitution to glowing good health.
As a remedy for woman's ills, it has
a successful record of over 50 years.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Last Year Successful Period From
Agricultural Standpoint.
Dun's Review of Trade says:
At the opening of the new year it is
gratifying to note that 1913 was the
most succcssful period from an agri
cultural standpoint that this country
has ever experienced. Notwithstand
ing adverse climatic conditions, tha
total yield of winter wheat surpassed
all former records, and while the corn
crop fell considerably below the ban
ner production of the preceding year,
higher prices more than compensate!
for any loss in output. Consequently
the value of the nation's farm prod
ucts reached unparalleled totals,
while the export trade of the United
States in those staples touched figures
never before attained.
The foreign commerce statistics are
particularly significant in connection
with the monetary situation, the large
balance of trade in favor of this coun
try indicating that gold imports may
be inaugurated early in the year 1914.
