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 60. 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

at this time.”
Wine of Cardui is the remedy to

that comes with the change of life.
It re-establishes healthy functions
