The following letter, Published In
1882, has occasioned much COM
ment and investigation by physA
clans and scientific men. It was
written by an old and reliablS
practitioner residing in Missouri.
The report is known as
CASE NO. SO.
"T have very interesting patient IN
the person of young girl who was
suffering from the effects of entirely
suppressed Inenses. Her father is q
wealthy farmer living a few miles from
this place. took charge of the daugh-
ter in 1873, believing that her troubles
would readily yield to the usual treat
ment Finding them 40 obstinate as
to yield to none Of the ordinary reme-
dies, by my advice her father took, her
to two celebrated physicians In St
Louis; but after treating her two
months, she returned home In no re-
almost blind. When she attempted to
concentrate her sight on any object it
would be at first all darkness, then ten
thousand stars Of every color would
appear, but she could distinguish
hardly anything. Her nervous system
was all upset, and she was unable to
sleep more than five minutes at q time
She suffered all the pains and aches
imaginable. At times a wavering Of
her mind was indicated and feared
her intellect was about to be unseated.
Without my knowledge, her father
commenced giving her 'MeElree's
Wine of Cardui,' which had been
highly recommended to him by some
one. She had been taking IL only a
week when saw her and was rejoiced
to find her symptoms greatly i'm
proved. Her father then told me what
be was giving her. / examined the
bottle of Wine, and believing no harm
would result from its use advised the
continuance of the regular doses daily.
am greatly opposed to the use of
Patent Medicin6s,' but when three
weeks later found this young lady
able TO read ordinary print without in
convenience, able to sleep soundly ten
hours out of twenty-four, free from
pain, and had had q return of men
strual flow, / became convinced that
McElree's Wine of CarduP was an as
bOnishing remedy, whatever it might
contain. write this hoping that your
rules VIII allow you to send me the
formula for making the medicine, so
that I may know In what cases TO pre-
scribe It,"
The question suggested 30 ply
sicians and scientific men By this
case, and thousands Of others
equally remarkable, was not as to
the wonderful value of this aston
ishing remedy, which was acknowL
edged by every one of them, but
what were its remedial elements ?
To the thousands of inquiries of
this kind the Chattan ooga Medicine
Company could return but one
reply
I'VE DO NOT KNOW"
The following is an extract from
the circular letter that they pre-
pared and mailed in reply to the
many thousands Of inquiries that
they received:
Almost universally the medical pro-
tession recommend vaccination as q
preventive Of smallpox. Is there one
Of them who can tell what constituent
element Of Bovine Virus causes the
phenomena? They only know the eff
Fect by repeated experiment.
We searched for twelve months and
treated every case of menstrual de-
Eangement that we could discover free
Of charge In case we Were unsuccessful
in accomplishing 8 cure, to satisfy our
selves as to the efficacy of McElree's
Wine Of Cardui OF about seven
thousand cases thus treated, over six
thousand five hundred were cured.
The reports received from these cases
| indicated that the wine was an aston
| Lshing tonic, as well as an emmena~
gogue. While its action was magical
as regarded any arrangements of the
menstrual organs, it caused invaEds to
gain strength and vitality, purified the
blood, increased their flesh, sometimes
twenty rounds In a few weeks, and
literally caused them to ''shout for
ioy.D Ladies who had become con-
Hrmed invalids were restored to robust
health in a comparatively short time.
Observing these results which have
been made known in hundreds Of let
ters from grateful inva1ids, we no lon.
ger care to inquire hoeO the wine ao-
oomplishes Its work. Not single peFs
cen has reported any deIetertoiis effect

| Whether the astonishing cures Of
menstrual arrangements come from its
power to strengthen the functions Of
| The body, or whether its action is direct
ON the menstrual organs, we do not
venture an opinion. The cures are
| established facts, and It will be only
| the foolish invalid or physician who
| will refuse to use the sure relief we
| offer, because we are unable to tell how
we accomplish the result
The course adopted by some ply
vicians who use the Wine of 0ardui
in their practice is TO write a pre-
scription couched in Latin, which
instructs the druggist to put the
Wine in a plain bottle, labelled
with written directions. For this
prescription the doctor gets fee Of
800 or $500, as the case may be,
and the druggist fifty cents
The patient gets for ell OF e2. so
about one-fouFth as much of the
Wine as could hc bought from the
same druggist for one dollar, If he
WerAap him and asked for bottle
Of McElree's Wine Of Cardui, with
