p=]HERE ARE MANY
1 sickly women bc
I 1 i tween the ages of
45 and 55, but there are
very few invalids over 55
and 60 years of age. The
change of life coming to
a woman near her forty
fourth year, either makes
her an invalid or g*»«>
her a new lease on life. Those who
meet this change in ill health sel
dom live ten years afterward, while
a woman who lays aside the active
duties of womanhood in health sel
dom fails to live on in happiness,
years after she has passed 6 0. This
is truly a critical time.
Mrs. Laura S. Webb, of Toledo,
Ohio, recognizes the change of life
as a dangerous period and she also
has faith in Wine of Cardui. She
. writes:
“As I had always been troubled more
or less at the menstrual period, I dreaded
the change ot me which was [
fast approaching. While vis
iting with a friend I noticed
that she was taking your
Wine of Cardui, and she was
so enthusiastic about it that I
decided to try a bottle. I ex
perienced some relief the first
month, so I kept on taking it
for three months and now I
menstruate with no pain and
T shall take it off and on now
Mrs. Laura S. Webb.
until I have passed the climax. I do not
dread it now, as I am sore that yoor
Wine of Cardui will be of great benefit
at this time.”
Wine of Cardui is the remedy to
re-inforce a woman against the shock
that comes with the change of life.
It re-establishes healthy functions
after years of suffering. In doing
this it has saved thousands of suf
ferers just in time. I)o not wait
until suffering is upon you. Thor
ough preparations should be made
in advance. Begin the Wine of y ^
Cardui treatment today.
