rINE OF CARDUI

scientific and mod
em remedy, meet
ing the needs of the modem

—without the torture of an
operation. Wine of Gardui |
has cured them in the pri
vacy of their homes and it
has found a place in the
hearts of American women '—
that no other medicine has f oun .
their gratitude over 10,000 American
women have written letters commend
ing Wine of Cardui. Wine of Cardui
meets their wants as no other medicine
does. It sustains the young girl at the
shock of her entrance to womanhood.
Women who take Wine of Cardui have
little discomfort during pregnancy and
little pain at childbirth. When the
change of life appears they enter a
happy, healthy old age. Every month it
comes to the rescue to assist Nature m
throwing the impurities from the body.
Miss Sarah Finley, of Memphis,
Tenn., vice-president of the Palmetto
Club of that city, speaks for herself and
many friends when she bestows the
following praise on Wine /
| of Cardui:
* Among the numerous
medicines placed before suf
fering women for their relief
none can touch McElree's
Wine of Cardui. It towers
above them all as a reliable
female remedy. It simply
drives pain and disease away
and restores health in an incredibly short I
period. I have taken great interest in this I
medicine for the past two years, since It
brought health and strength to me. I
have also recommended it to a number
of my friends and they who have used it
speak of it in the highest terms and I feel
that it is praise well bestowed.”
If you are suffering from female t|
weakness W ine of Cardui is the medi
cine you need.
You can have health the same as
Miss Finley if you will take the Wine #
of Cardui treatment. If you need ad
