Frances Kingslby, First Vice-President of the Historical Club ,544 Garfield AveGhicasoJILsajs icaoo. III., M4 Garfield Avenue, October, 9. 1902. After doctoring for eleven months and taking forty-three bottles of medicine and finding no relief for leucorrhfa resulting from irritation of a fallen womb I tnok ine of Cardui and fourwen bottles cured me. This seems striae but it is the simple truth. Wine of Cardui kelned me from the time 1 Iikph tkinrr it rA kawinn it nr.;.i t,-ui. by friends who bad tried it 1 felt satiated that it would help me. and it did. Itcuredme. Took every bit of ache, pain and head ache. cramps and if S m t wondr-rful medicine and a true friend to women. When I look back on the T JW JL :ure I bad it seems liae a hideous nightmare. W ine of Cardui will core U believe. I have more faith in it than all other medicines combined. Who would go on suffering female troubles after reading the earnest statement of this prominent woman ? Are you suffering from leu corrhcea? Have you the irritation of a fallen or misplaced uterus? Doyou have periodical headaches ? Do you have aches, paisa or cramps in the abdomen? Have you "bearing down pains" ? Do you feel as if you were never "young, strong and happy"? How can you refuse relief when you know these troubles are torturing you, are growing worse day after day? If yoa go to a phy sician after a local examination, he will probably tell you an operation is necessary. Mrs. Kingsley took Wine of Cardui and sh was cured without an operation. And this is what you maydo. Shooting pains, irregularity, inflammation and bearing down pains make thousands of women miserable. Why arag through life never enjoying anything? Wine of Cardui has made over 1.6UO.0O0 weak and suf fering women well and strong. We aak you to go to your druggist today andsecureall.oObotUeof Wine of Cardui and begin to tax it at once. Do that and the health Mrs. Kingsley write about will soon be yours. II you think special di rections are needed in voor case, address, giving srmptoma.
