The Kind You Have Always Bought Bers the Signature of &$& No tyomsn would hesitate a moment to have a physical deformity righted. Few women arc lame and blind, but a majority of women to-day are crippled physically and mentally by female suffering. Irregular menses are sapping their lives and weakening their vitality. Bearing down pains, leucor rhoea and pains in the head, back, neck and limbs are disabling them so effectually that few women are found sufficient for aij the demand of life. It Is to these sufferers that is offered today. That Wine of Cardul will cure you Is supported by the fact that 1.000.C0O women have secured relief from this wonderful emmenagogue. There are few cases where Wine of Cardui has failed to give relief.

All druggists sell $1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui. East Florence, Ala., January 6, 1901. I thank you for your Rind letter and If I can be of any help to sufferers I will do all 1 can. There Is no reason why so many women should suffer so, for Wine of Cardui cures all female weakness. I have thought for a long time I would write and tell you what Wine of Cardui has done for me, i had been a sufferer for ten years with all that could ail a woman. Wins of Carduj has (lone me more good than all the doctors ever did. 1 just think I can't live without it. I keep it all the time, i have taken about ten bottles of it and have recommended it to a great many friends and it has done wonders fer them. It Is a never-falling cure for women. I hope all will try it. Mra. P. W.
