rrrnmon in fViO TTnifftrl " - — - —
States. Thousands of women gather to
hear her lecture everywhere she goes.
The great work she has done for the
Maccabees is appreciated by every
; member of the order. She was so ab
sorbed in her work that she neglected
to give her health proper care—failed
to take warning that the symptoms of
approaching kidney trouble gave her,
the sallow complexion and torpid liver.
But Wine of Cardui cured her the same
as it has cured thousands of others and
Mrs. McDonald has written this letter in
order that other suffering women may
secure from Wine of Cardui the same
relief she got from it.
“For four year* I suffered with torpid
liver until my skin looked yellow and dull.
I then found my kidneys were affected and
had severe pains across my back, and I felt
ever since. I know there is nothing better
for a sick woman who wishes to enjoy per
fect health and am very pleased to give my
hearty endorsement”
No suffering woman can afford to
ignore such a Tetter as Mis. McDonald
writes. Her plans and advifce v- ^
proved valuable in building up one ot* . J|
the greatest women’s organizations in 1
the United States and she takes time to
give advice which she knows will help
you.
Do not delay in securing this medi
cine. There is nothing to gain and
everything to lose by delay. The choice
is before you. Will or will you not
secure relief now by taking Wine of
Cardui? All druggists sell 81.00 bottles
of Wine of Cardui as well as 25c pack
ages of Thedford’s Black-Draught.
