I suffered with fulling and con-

pains through the groins. I suf¬
fered terribly at the time of men¬
struation. had blinding headaches
and rushing of blood to the bruin.
What to try i knew not, for it
seemed that I had tried all and
failed, hut 1 had never tried Wine
of Cardui. that blessed remedy for
sick women. 1 found that it pleasant 1 had
to take and soon knew blood
the right medicine. New
seemed to course through my veins
and after using eleven bottles I
was a well woman.
Mrs. Hush is now in perfect
health because she took Wine of
Cardui for r.<en*trual disorders,
bearing down pains and blinding
headaches when all other remedies
failed to bring her relief. Any
sufferer may secure health by tak¬
ing Wine of Cardui in her home.
The first bottle convinces the pa¬
