INDESCRIBABLE
SUFFERINGS
Dumb Chills and Other Serious
Symptoms Complicated the Ill-
ness of Miss Rutherford For-
merly of Atlanta.
Douglassville Tex. — “Five years
ago I was caught in a rain at the
wrong time” writes Edna Rutherford
of Douglassville Tex. "and from that
time was taken with dumb chills and
fevers and suffered more than I can
tell.
“I tried all the medicines that I
thought would do me any good and
four different doctors but got no re-
lief so I began to take Cardui.
"I have now taken six bottles of
Cardui and am wonderfully Improv-
ed. I feel better than I have in many
months and am thankful to your won-
derful medicine.”
There is a reason why Cardui is so
exceptionally successful in relieving
women's troubles after other medi-
cines fail and that is. that it con-
tains rare herbal ingredients which
have to be imported especially from
Europe and which by their specific
action on the womanly organs help to
strengthen and restore them to health.
Cardui is more succesful than other
medicines because it is "different.”
It is in a class by itself. It is not a
cure all but a woman's medicine a
tonic for weak women.
It does one thing and does it well.
That's the secret of its 60 years
of success.

nish an appearance bond when the of-
ficers should serve a warrant upon
him.
With his wife and daughter he dis-
cussed the case upon which the
charge developed and the matter of
furnishing bond. During the conver-
sation Dr. Wolff sat at his desk in the
office which is at his home and was
engaged In writing. No attention was
given the contents of the note. The
physician then complained of suffer-
ing from a fearful headache and
walked to. the medicine case. He asked
that a glass of water be given him.
His wife left the room as did his
daughter. When they returned both
at once noticed that Dr. Wolff had
suddenly grown very pale. The wife
and daughter became alarmed and
as they gave him the water asked him
what had occurred.
Feared Jail Cell.
“My father at first said that he had
taken some medicine for his head-
ache” said Miss Elizabeth Wolff in
telling of the act of her father later.
'He then handed me the letter writ-
ten by him. I read it and knew that
he had taken poison. He had gone to
his room and I ran to him. His wife
also went in. I asked him what he
had taken the poison for.
" ‘I am an old man. and I cannot
stand to be locked up behind the bars
of that jail again.’ he said to me"
continued Miss Wolff. "If I was guilty
of any crime I would stand my trial
like a man. but I am old gnd I have
been wrongfully accused. You will not
have to bother about getting bond for
me for I am going into a long sleep.’ ”
“I pleaded with him to take some-
thing to make him vomit the poison
but he refused to do anything.” said
Miss Wolff. "He was getting weaker
and weaker and I told him that I was
going to telephone for a doctor. He
became angry and warned me not to
do so. He said he would kill himself
with his pistol and started toward
the drawer of the bureau to get the
pistol but his wife and I prevented
him from doing so. My father then
said he wanted a cup of hot coffee
and we hurried to get it. I started
back to his room and found him in
his office again. He had Just swal-
lowed another large dose of the
poison.
“I assisted him back to his room
and he then became so weak that he
fell over on the bed. He was helpless
but was still conscious. I telephoned
Dr. King and Dr. Goeth. He began to
talk of the case saying that he was
Innocent; that he could not stand to
go to jail again; that he was an old
man and would rather die than to be
locked up for sometrfing he had been
wrongfully accused of. Just before
the doctors arrived he became de-
lirious and began talking of his first
wife saying he was going to heaven
to meet her; that his children and
friends would never see him alive
again.
“He became unconscious in about
thirty minutes. The physicians work-
ed hard on him for almost three
hours. They could not revive him and
gave little hope for his recovery. He
was taken to the Baylor hospital
about 9 o’clock.
The note written by Dr. Wolff just
before swallowing the poison says in
part:
"To the Public—l hereby state that
I have been unjustly and wrongfully
persecuted by a class of physicians in
this town. I have in my safe letters to
show these men in their right light
to the public. Whenever I shall de-
part from this world the people of
San Antonio will find out the mur-
derers of their families.
"God bless all my friends my chil-
dren and my poor little sweet wife. I
am grateful to all my friends. I swear
to the public I anr Innocent of the
crime I am charged with and the po-
lice will find out later the truth.”
Dr. Wolff was born in Hamburg.
Germany 59 years ago. but came to [
the United States thirty-five years ago
and for many years followed his pro-
fession in New Orleans. Four years
ago he moved with his family to San
Antonio from Seguin where he had
lived a short while. Besides his wife
Mrs. Mildred Wolff there are two
daughters Misses Elizabeth and Edna
Wolff of this city and one son Charles
E. Wolff of Galveston. The latter is
expected to arrive in San Antonio this
afternoon

and that his former employers were
absolutely innocent; that he under
the name of "C. W. Schmidt” had
been promoting the "Bible” swindle
with the aid of the mails. The "game”
was to write letters to relatives of a
dead member of the family saying
that the deceased one had been pur-
chasing a Bible on the installment
plan and that hut a few dollars re-
mained to be paid on the book. In
this way he would work on their
sympathies and secure the money.
