In an in credibly short time a large -white blis ter arise- and unless prompt measures are ta: on to counteract the effects of the poison the flesh begins to swell j and become painful.

"After my first baby was bom I did not seem to regain my strength although the doctor gave me • tonic which he consid ered very superior, but instead of getting better I grew weaker every day. My hus band insisted that I take Wine of Cardui for a week and see what it would do for me. I did ts!.e the medicine and was very grateful to find try strength and health 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 enthusi astic in its praise." Wine of Cardui reinforces the organs of generation for the ordeal of preg nancy and childbirth. It prevents mis carriage. No woman who takes Wine of Cardui need fear the coming of her child. If Jlrs. Unrath had taken Wine of Cardui before her baby came she would not have been weakened as she was. Her rapid recovery should commend this great remedy to every expectant mother.
