health again by taking Wme of Cardui.
As a regulator,.of the menstrual periods
Wine of Cardui has never been known
to fail. It has seldom failed to restore
perfect health, even in the most persis
tent and aggravated case of weakness.
Miss Ida M. Snyder, of No. 535 Ber
gen Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., has used
Wine of Cardui and she says it helped
her into a new life. Health to Miss
Snyder is worth a great deal. She is
an attractive young woman with intel
lectual attainments and she occupies
the position of Treasurer of the Brook
lyn East End Art Club. This position
marks her as a person of intellect, cul
ture and refinement and it speaks highly
of the respect and trust her fellow
women have in her. She writes:
“If women would pay more attention
ford’s Black-Draught, and so I took it
and have every reason to thank him for
a new life opened up to me with restored
health, and it only took three months to
cure me."
You may secure the same relief as i.
Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui ,
as she took it. Thedford’s Black
Draught is the companion medicine of
Wine of Cardui and it is a liver and
bowel regulator which assists greatly
in effecting a cure. If you take these
medicines according to directions, the
relief and cure is simple. Some cases
are cured quickly and others take longer
because the disease ha3 run longer.
Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine
of Cardui and has health. The same
medicines are offered you to-day.
