The west Tennessee star. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1888, 1888-11-16

There seems to be a mistaken
idea prevalent regarding the aston
ishing new remedy = McElree's
Wine Of Cardui-which has accom-
plished such wonderful results in
the cure of troublesome and fatal
class of diseases.
It should be understood that tn is
remedy is NOT PATENT MEDICINE.
The manufacturers have applied
for no patent on their formula, and
have no idea of doing so. The
good man-Rev. r. L. McElree-
who was instrumental in acquaint-
ing the public with its wonderful
healing virtues, is a humble minis
ter in the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian Church. He tried through
the instrumentality Of his brethren
and fellow clergymen in his church
to introduce it to the suffering wo-
men of the world, for several years.
He received much announcement
and valuable assistance from them,
but with their best endeavors it's
great value was made know to COM
paratively few of those who needed
it. In order to widen the sphere
of its usefulness he arranged with
the Chattanooga Medicine Com
pany, of Chattanooga, Tenn, to
undertake its manufacture, know
ing that with the unlimited means
and facilities possessed by this
great medicine house, they could put
it within tie reach of every woman
in the world.
He required them to advertise it,
and by every means in their power
to place before the public, and to
sell it at price as low as the cost
of its manufacture would permit.
To the best of their ability they
have and are doing this. They
have never attempted, nor do they
desire to make it patent medicine.
They regard it one of the most
valuable discoveries in medical sci
ence of the nineteenth century,
IT BELONGS TO THE PUBLIC, and it
is their wish to introduce it to
every mother, wife and household
in America.
They hope for and expect from
Christian men and women every
where, and especially from those
who regain their health by its use,
assistance in their laudable work.
Good men, clergymen, physicians
and philanthropists constantly en-
courage them by kind letters and
advice, good women bid them God
speed"
The following letter was given to
DR.. McElree soon after he discov-
cred the great remedy, by that good
man,
REV t. G. BLAKE, D. D.,
of Nashville, Tenn, then the gen.
eral financial agent of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Publishing
House, and since editor and pro-
prietor of the youths Treasury"
a monthly magazine for boys and
girls, published at Nashville, Tenn:
DEAR MCELREE - The medicine
(Wine of CardUi) which you sent to
me for distribution came to hand
promptly, and through my wife sue
ceeded in placing it in the hands of the
suffering.
TO my certain knowledge IL has been
thoroughly tested, and its effects have
been truly wonderful. 1t has entirely
relieved some of the most obdurate
cases known to the medical profession.
This statement I know to be true.
You ore benefactOr, my dear brother,
and wish you unbOunded success in
your great work. Thousands upon
thousands of suffering women will
h 10 off
remedy. Most sincerely do I wish that
every suffering woman In this broad
land knew of the virtues of your great
medicine. Ever your brother,
T.. G. BLAKE.
This simple letter, which cost
this good man but a few moments
of time, has been read by thou
sands of people, and has been the
means of inducing many suffering
women to use the wonderful medi-
cine which he endorsed, after being
convinced of its great value.
Mr.. H. E. Moseley, of MosleY's
Bluff, La, a merchant of that place,
says:
III never sold a medicine that gave
such satisfaction. Every purchaser
reply-'It acts like charm II is GER
tainly the greatest remedy yet diScov-
cred for what it is recommended"
Rev. J. A. McMahan, Of Green
castle, Ind, writes:
The box of Wine Of Cardui arrived
safely to-day. Previous orders have
given satisfaction in every case. We
thank the Lord and you that it was
discovered and brought to our notice.
Our daughters, just at the dawn of
womanhOod, were suffering greatly,
frequently unable to attend school, and
we were advised by friends to stop one
Of them, as her health was in dam
ger. We then sent TO you for the
Wine of Cardui. 1t cured them at
once, and they continued in school, en-
| Ioying good health. The one that suf-
| tered most has not lost a day from
school in eight months, and is still In
school. Others who have used IL
some who have suffered long and at
| great expense for medicines) say it is
| the best they have ever found, and ex-
press their satisfaction with it. For
the sake of humanity, we hope its Wis
/ Sue may become generally known.
Friendly yours,
