TIIE BANNER, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 17,1902. MISS FAY LEE, President of the ShaKeapearlam Club, Kansas City. Your booklet came to my home like a. message of healtn when I had suffered with headache, backache and bear ing-down pains. I was weak, nervous and hysterical and had not consulted any doctor, thinking it would pass away in time, but instead I found that the pains increased and were more frequent. I de cided to try Wine of Cardui and in a short time was much improved. It seemed to act like a charm. 1 kept up the treatment and the result was most satisfactory. Words fail to ex press my gratitude for the suffering that is now saved me. I am in fine health, physically and mentally. I can only say ‘thank you', but there is much more in my heart for you.” EARING-DOWN pains are th* worst that women know. If you are suffering from this trou ble vou need not be uncertain about it. The pains in the abdomen and back that feel as if heavy weights were pulling down on the nerves of the stomach are “bearing-down pains”. They may not be particularly severe at present but they are growing worse. That headache which nearly drives you distracted now is caused by tho terrible j **•7 nr nervous tension. Tho nerves soon begin to give way under the strain. You perhaps jump at any unusual disturbance, or laugh or weep, hysteri cally, at no apparent cause. That is what Miss Fay Lee, 603)h£ North Seventh Street, Kansas City, Kansas, was coming to when she rescued herself by taking Wine of Cardui. The w ine made her a strong, healthy woman again, as it has made a million other women strong and healthy. Ily induc ing regular menstruation the entiro system is relieved of the terrible wasting drains. The ligaments which hold the womb in place are strengthened by a healthy flow and that organ is returned to its normal position. Keturning health is the result. This is what Wine of Cardui has done for thousands of the best women in America. If yon need advice write The Ladies’ Advisory Department, The Chatta nooga Medicine Company,Chattanooga, Tenn., describing al! your symptoms freely, and a letter of advice will he sent you. Secure a $1.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist to-day. WINEofCARDVI A million suffering women have found relief in Wine of Cardui. CUT FROM EAR TO EAR.
