of Cardui and Th dtord's Black-Draught are the best medicines on earth. When I commenced taking them
I weighed 103 pounds. When I quit taking the treatment I weighed 130. I thank you for the advice you
gave me and also for preparing such a good medicine. NANCY E. SKEEN.
WINE 0 * CARDIII
Could greater praise be given to any medicine than Ihe simple and sincere statement of Mtw
Skeen ? Wine of Cardui brought her bock fo health when she was so sorely distressed that life seemed
a burden. The dragging agony of disordered menstruation coupled with the terrible weakening drain*
of Irucorrhaa and falling of the womb are almost worse than death Itself to a highly strung and ner
vous woman. For Miss Skeen Wine of Cardui invigorated (he wrakrntd and diseased organs, built up
the shattered nerves and made her "(eel like anew woman". It will do the same lor YOU. Any
druggist will sell you a SI.OO bottla ot Wine of Cardui.
