These letters show how unnecessary , how foolish , it as for women to suffer day after day , year after year. Here are women -who had been invalids for years , restored to perfect health by a few days treatment. Thousands of such cases are reported. Women who have never seen a painless menstrual period say : " \Vine of Cardui gave me complete relief. " Others write : " I was gloomy and despondent from so much suffering , but Wine of Cardui has made me well and happy. " For everything that comes under the head of "female troubles" Wine of Cardui is the best remedy. It cures "whites" , falling of the womb , irregular and painful menstruation. It fits a woman for the duties -wifehood and motherhood. It brings children into homes barren for years. For semi-invalids who have headache , back ache and nervousness almost constantly it comes as a priceless boon. No woman need suffer all the time. Wine of Cardui will bring her health and joy. jjl.00 at the drug stores.
