Miss May Markell, - j
flow in a healthy and nat
ural manner. Menstruation
started right is very easy to
keep regular through the
years of mature womanhood.
Then the “change of life”
need, not be feared. Thus
Wine of Cardui is woman’s
1 best relief from youth to
old age. A million women
liave secured blessed relief
flipir anffprinfTa hv fair
a bed of sickness and suffering. For
the health she now enjoys she gives
credit to Wine of Cardui. She writes:
U1 have found Wine of Cardui an excel*
lent remedy for female trouble. I suffered
for three years with terrible bearing down
pains at the menstrual period. I could
hardly stand on my feet and was never
real well. Wine of Cardui was the only
medicine that I could depend on to do me
any good, as I tried several with no suc
cess. Wine of Cardui cured me and I
have now enjoyed perfect health for two
years, and give you all the credit for I
know you deserve it.”
For a young girl Wine of Cardui is
the best remedf to guide her through
womanhood by starting the menstrual
ing this treatment. It relieves men- •
strual troubles in an incredibly short I
time. In a simple case of deranged 1
menses Wine of Cardui never fails. To I
relieve disordered menses is to remove
the cause of other female troubles. Any * r,
physician will tell you that to remove
the cause of a disease renders the cure:
easy, in fact seldom fails to complet
the cure. If you would have the same
relief which Miss Marked secured try
Wine of Cardui. You can take it with
out an examination and without any
publicity whatever. You can take it in
the privacy of your home and secure
just as much benefit as if a doctor had
prescribed it for you. Thousands of wo- j'
men are feeling the vigor of returning
health by taking Wine of Cardui.
