How often the thought comes home

As the moments hurry away,
of the many things 1 intend to do
Somehow, some time, some day.
There are promises that have not beer

Though i always meant to he true
Hut time is too short tor all the thing.'
That a body intends to do

Who comforted needs to be;
Hut the days are gone and the week?

And he's waiting in vain for me.
••Tomorrow,'’ 1 said, --I will surel.v
go,”
Hut tomorrow is always today.
And the duty that's left till au'othet

Is ever a mile away.
I will answer a letter, or rea(j a l)ook
I will write a hit of i hyme;
I will do things that I ought to dn_

So. i : , , .oni.d, as 1 hope and plan
i ot me days that are just ahead
While the day that is here gl)es 'into
its grave
With its opportunities dead.
Today is the only day we have
CM tomorrow we can’t be sure
To seize the.chance as it comes along
Is the way to make it secure
For every year is a shorter year.
And this is a truth sublime
A moment misspent is a jewel lost.

213 South Prior Street,
Atlanta, Ga., March 21,1903.
I I suffered for four months with
extreme nervousness and lassitude.
I had a sinking feeling in my
stomach which no medicine seemed j
to relieve, and losing my appetite j
1 became weak and lost my vital
ity. In three weeks I lost fourteen |
pounds of flesh and felt that 1 must
find speedy relief to regain my I
health. Having heard Wine of
Cardui praised by several of my
friends, I sent for a bottle and was j
certainly very pleased with the j
results. Within three days my
appetite returned and my stomach {
troubled me no more. I could
digest my food without difficulty |
and the nervousness gradually
diminished. Nature performed
her functions without difficulty
and I am once more a happy and
well woman.
