Kight months ago I was bo ill that I was compelled to lio or sit down nearly all tho time. My stomach was so weak and upset that I could kepp nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I coughed so much that my throat and lungs were raw and sore. The doctors pro nounced it Bright's disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to mo what they called it and I had no de sire to live. A sister visited me from St. liOiiia and asked mo if I had over tried Wino of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that itiaved my life. I heliovemany women could save much suffer ing if thoy but know of its value. Don't you want freedom from pain?
