A couple of winters ago I
slipped on a frozen sidewalk
and fell flat on my back. On
being examined I found that
I had sustained internal inju
ries which laid me up for more 1
than two months. After that
I noticed that I had pains in
the back and groin which I
never had before. I doctored |
and doctored for several
months but as the pains in- (
creased instead of vrowinor
Mitt Monie Bowey. I
better I decided that I was not having the
right treatment. Reading in the papers
of the wonderful cures performed by
Wine of Cardui I wrote to one of the
parties and received a very satisfactory
reply and I immediately sent for some.
In a very short time I felt generally better
and after seven weeks faithful use I was
once more well and strong. I have never
had a sick hour since and I daily bless
your splendid medicine.
MONIE BOWEY.
IINE OF CARDUI is one medi
cine that should always be kept
on hand in every home for im
l——-J mediate use when female weak
ness first makes its appearance. Miss
Bowey’s painful and dangerous accident
would not have resulted so seriously
had she taken Wine of Cardui promptly.
