"After my first baby was born 1 did not seem to regain my strength although the doctor gave me a tonic which he consid ered very superior, but instead ct getting better I grew weaker every day. My hus band insisted that I take Wine of Cardui for a week and see what It would do for me. I did take the medicine and was very grateful to find my strength and health slowly returning. In two weeks I was out of bed and in a month I was able to take up my usual duties. I am very enthusi astic In Its praise." Wine of Cardui reinforces the organs of generation for the ordeal of preg nancy and childbirth. It prevents mis carriage. No woman who takes W ine of Cardui need fear the coming of her child. If Mrs. Utirath had taken Wine of Cardni before her baby came she would not have been weakened as she was. Her rapid recovery should commend this great remedy to every expectant mother. Wine of Cardui regulates the menstrual now. JURY HAS ACQUITTED JAMESJWJLLMAN Noted Case In South Carolina Has Come to a Closa. JURY WAS OUT 24 HOURS. TRAGEDY AT CHARLESTON.
