home like a message of health
whea I had suffered with
headache, backache and bear

nervous and hysterical and
had not consulted any doctor,
thinking it would pass away
in time, but instead I found
that the pains increased and
were more frequent. I de

‘thank you’, but there is much more in

rARING-DOWN pains are the
worst that women know. It

about it. The pains in the abdomen

They may not be particularly severe at

soon begin to give way under
the strain. You perhaps jump
at any unusual disturbance,
or laugh or weep, hysteri
cally, at no apparent cause.
That is what Miss Fay Lee,

Kansas City, Kansas, was
coming to when she rescued
herself by taking Wine of
Cardui. The Wine made
a stronu. healthv woman
again, as it has made a million other
women strong and healthy. By induc
ing regular menstruation the entire
system is relieved of the terrible wasting
drains. The ligaments which hold the
womb in place are strengthened by a
healthy flow and that organ is returned
to its normal position. Returning
health is the result. This is what
Wine of Cardui has done for thousands
of the best women in America.
