-lENSTRUAL irregu
larities are gener
ally the beginning

bles. With the vitality at a
low ebb, the blood weak
ened, the digestion disor
dered, she goes about pale
faced, hollow-eyed and hag
gard, a piteous contrast to
the blooming health of
her former self. But over
I 1.000.000 women have found
Mill Ida M Snyder.
to their health we would
have more happy wives,
mothers and daughters, and
if they would use more intel
ligence in the matter of medi
cines, observing results, they {
would find that the doctors'
prescriptions do not perform
the many cures they are given
credit for.
“In consulting with my
druggist he advised McElree’s
Wine of Cardui and Thed
health again by taking Wme of Oftruui,
As a regulator of the menstrual periods
Wine of Cardui has never been Known
to fail. It has seldom failed to restore
perfect health, even in the most persis
tent and aggravated case of weakness.
Mbs Ida M. Snyder, of JSb. 535 Ber
gen Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., has used
Wine of Cardui and she says it helped
' her into a new life. Health to Miss
Snyder is worth a great deal. Sjhe is
an attractive young woman with intel
lectual attainments and she occupies
the position of Treasurer of the Brook
lyn East End Art Club. This position
marks her as a person of intellect, cul
ture and refinement and it speaks highly
of the respect and trust her fellow
women have in her. She writes:
u If women would pay more attention
fora * Black-Draught, and to l took tt
and have every reason to thank him (or
a mw life opened up to me with restored
health, and it only took three months to “
Cure me.f
You may secure the same relief as ►*
Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui
as she took it. Thedford's Black
Draught is the companion medicine of
Wine of Cardui and it is a liver and
bowel regulator which assists greatly
in effecting a cure. If you take these
medicines according to directions, the
relief and cure is simple. Some cases
are cured quickly and others take longer
because the disease bas run longer.
Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine
of Cardui and has health. The same
medicines are offered you to-day.
