doubt exists there of the passage

jority of the qualified voters, the agi

concerned,

fppiHEKE ARE MANY
i sickly women be
" tween the ages of
45 and 55, but there are
very few invalids over 55
and GO yfnrs of age. The
change of life coming to
a woman near her forty
fourth year, either makes

her a new lease on life. Those who
meet this change in ill health sel
dom live ten years afterward, while
a woman who lays aside the active
duties of womanhood in health sel
dom fails to live on in happiness,
years after she has passed 60. Thii
is truly a critical time.
Mrs. Laura S. Webb, of Toledo
Ohio, recognizes the change of lift
as a dangerous period and she alsi
has faith in Wine of Cardui. Shi
writes:
“As I had always been troubled mor
or less at the menstrual period, I dreadei
the change of life which was
fast approaching. While vis
iting with a friend I noticed
that she was taking your
Wine of Cardui, and she was V
so enthusiastic about it that I
decided to try a bottle. I ex
perienced some relief the first
month, so I kept on taking it \
for three months and now I
menstruate with no pain and
1 ro it raff nn rirvtxr A
until I have passed the climax, I do not
dread it now, as I am sure that your
Wine of Cardui will be of great benefit
at this time.”
Wine of Cardui is the remedy to
re-inforce a woman against the shock
i that comes with the change of life.
It re-establishes healthy functions
after years of suffering. In doing
, this it has saved thousands of suf
, fefers just in time. Do not wait
t until suffering is upon you. Thor- I
ough preparations should be made
in advance. Begin the Wine of
