E FLOWERS COLLECTION fiiltll in VOL. IV. NO. 48. JtUTHERFOBDTON, N. C, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1904. 81.00 A YEAR. V . A Dragging Pains 2825 Keeley St., Chicago, III., Oct., 2, 1902. I suffered with falling and con gestion of the womb, with severe pains through the groins. I suf fered terribly at the time of men struation, had blinding headaches and rushing of blood to the brain. What to try 1 knew not, for it seemed that I had tried all and failed, but 1 had never tried Wine of Cardui, that blessed remedy for sick women. I found it pleasant to take and soon knew that I had the right medicine. New blood seemed to course through my veins and after using eleven bottles I was a well woman. Mrs. Bush is now in perfect health because she took Wine of Cardui for menstrual disorders, bearing down pains and blinding headaches when all other remedies failed to bring her relief. Any sufferer may secure health by tak ing .Wine of Cardui in her home. The first bottle convinces the pa tient she is on the road to health.
