Wine of Cardui is indeed a blessing
ia tired women. Having suffered for
even years with weakness end bear,
ing-down pains, and having tried sev
eral doctors and different remedies
with no success, your Wine of. Cardul
was the only thing which helped me,
and eventually cured me It seemed to
bJild up the weak parts, strengthen
the system end correct irregularities."
By 'tired women" Mrs. Adams
means nervous women who have
disordered menses, falling of the
womb, ovarian troubles or any of
these ailments that women have.
You can cure yourself at home with
this great women's remedy, Wine
of Cardui. Wine of Cardui has
cured thousands of cases which

The robbery occurred at the Berk
