Victory for Cardui.
We are rejoiced |at the great
victory won by Z. C. Patten, Jr.,
and the Chattanooga Medicine
Co., at Chicago.
The jury returned a verdict in
favor of the makers of Cardui, the
woman’s tonic, and held the
American! Medical Journal guilty
of libel for publishing that Cardui
is a nostrum without merit.
In short, the United States
Court has placed the seal of its
approval upon the remedy, Car
dui, after one of the most exhaus
tive trials in the history of the
country.
All Chattanooga will rejoice,
and the verdict will attract nation
