"If every suffering woman

Wine of Cardui that I had,
your medicine will be most

If you are a suffering wo

that Wine of Cardui seldom
fails to completely cure any
case of female ills. We say
emphatically, it never fails
to benefit. Every day hun

take three bottles when I was fully re
covered.”
I «,|HEN Mis9 Rose Owens, who
Mr I has a responsible position in
I ** | the Government service at
Washington, D. C., decided to
try Wine of Cardui, she made a wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. It is not a
strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. It does not force results, but
corrects derangements of the menstrual
organs. It strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic for wo
men known to the science of medicine.
ing the advice which was freely given
her by the Ladies’ Advisory Depart
ment. Miss Owens was cured without
advice by just buying a 81.00 bottle of
Wine of Cardui from her druggist and
taking this great medicine in the pri
vacy of her home. No doctor’s ex
amination, treatment or advice is nec
essary. You have read what these two
curea women have written. Is this not
enough to lead you to determine to be
rid or suffering?
August 13, 1900, Mrs. W. H. Jones,
of Cameron, Mo., writes:
“I suffered terribly at monthly periods
for three years. I would sometimes go for
seven months with no flow at all. Now
I have my health back qgain and am
expecting to be confined in January. I
cannot praise your medicine enough."
