for its help. After my first

although the doctor gave me
a tonic which he considered
very superior, but instead of

every day. My husband

Healthy wonin do not suf
fer miscarriale nor does
a woman is healthy

It is the won£n who is ail

of becoming ajnother. Wine
of Cardui .br ills up the wo

all nnnatnrilt drains and

what it would do for me. As he seemed
to have so much faith in it I did take the

my strength slowly returning. In two

was able to take up my usual duties. I
am very enthusiastic in its praise.”
□OTHERHOOD is the noblest duty
and 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

happy mother, watching her children
grow into manhood ana womanhood.
A mother lives as many lives as she has
children—their joys and sorrows are
strains—irregularities wiich are re
sponsible for barrenness!and miscar
