a« .|HEN Miss Rose Owens, who

try Wine of Cardui, she made a wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. It is not a
strbrig medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. It does not force results, but
corrects derangements of the menstrual

organs, and is the finest tonic for wo
