**I am pleased to give my
experience with Wine of
Cardui as I am very grateful
for its help. After mv first
baby was born I could not
seem to kgain my strength,
although the doctor gave me
a tonic which he considered
very superior, but instead of
getting better I grew weaker
every day. My husband
came home one evening with
some Wine of Cardui and in
sisted that I take it for a week and see
what it would do for me. As he seemed
to have so much faith in it I did take the
imedicine and was very grateful to find
my strength slowly returning. In two
weeks I was out of bed and in a month I
was able to take up my usual duties. I
am very enthusiastic in its praise.”
