 I consider Wine of Cardui better than doctors prescriptions or any other remedy for female trouble.
 I have tried many, both in this country and abroad, having been a sufferer eleven years, and nothing cured me until used your remedy.
 I had such excruciating pains at times that I wanted to die, and indeed a life of suffering is not alluring to anyone.
 Your splendid medicine strength ened my nerves, restored my appetite and built up my entire system, and I now enjoy perfect health.
