"After my first baby was born I did not seem to regain ray strength although the doctor gave me a tonic which ht considered very superior, but instead cf getting better I grew weaker every day. My hasbend Insisted that I take Wine of Cardui ' for a week and sec 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 enthusiastic In its praise." Wine of Cardui reinforces the organs of generation for tho ordeal of pregnancy and childbirth. It prevents miscarriage. No woman who takes Wine i of Cardui need fear the coming of her child. If Mrs. Unrath had taken Wine of Cardui before her baby came she would not have been weakened as she was. Her rapid recovery should i commend this great remedy to every expectant mother. Wine of Cardui regulates the menstrual flow.
