Mrs. Fred Vivradk,

gtm.--’
U1 am pleased to give my
experience with wine of
Cardui as I am very grateful
for its help. After my first
baby was born I could not
seem to regain my strength,
although the doctor gave me
atonic which he considered
very superior, but instead of
getting better I grew weaker
every day. My husband
came home one evening with
i some Wine of C.ardtii andin
hers, as are their ambitions,
triumphs and defeats.®
Healthy women do not suf- ■
fer'miscarriage nor does ft
■a woman who is healthy 1
suffer tortures at childbirth. I
It is the woman who is ail- 1
ing—who has female weak- ft
ness—who fears the ordeal I
of becoming a mother. Wine I
of Cardui builds up the wo- I
manly in a woman._ It stops I
all unnatural drains and ft
Mrs. Fred Vnrath,
sisted that I take it for a week and see
what it would do for me. As he seemed
; to have so much faith in it I did take the
imedicine and was very grateful to find
my strength slowly returning. In two
weeks I was out of bed and in a month I
was able to take up my usual duties. I
am very enthusiastic in its praise.”
OTIIERHOOD is the noblest duty
gnd highest privilege women
can achieve or aspire to. With
out this privilege women do not
get all there is in life—too often they
go through the world discontented,
wrapped up in their own selfish cares
and troubles. How different is the
happy_ mother, watching her children
grow into manhood and womanhood.
A mother lives as many lives as she has
children—their joys and sorrows are
strains—irregularities which are re
sponsible for barrenness and miscar
riage. It makes a woman strong and
healthy and able to pass through preg
nancy and childbirth with little suffer
ing. After the ordeal is passed the
Wine prepares a woman for a speedy
recovery to health and activity.
Wine of Cardui, in re-inforcing the j
organs of generation, has made mothers
of women who had given up hope of
ever becoming mothers. Wine of Cardui
will cure almost any case of barrenness
except cases of organic trouble. How
can you refuse to take such a remedy
that promises such relief from suffering ?
Wine of Cardui simply makes youva
strong woman, and strong, healthy A
women do not suffer. They look for- , ”
ward to motherhood with joy.
