 health again by taking Wine of Cardui. As a regulator of the menstrual periods Wine of Cardui has never been known to fail. It has seldom failed to restore perfect health, even in the most persis- tent and aggravated case of weakness.
 Miss Ida M. Snyder, of No. 535 Der gen Street, Brooklyn, N. Y, has used Wine of Cardui and she says it helped her into new life. Health to Miss Snyder is worth a great deal. She is an attractive young woman with intel lectual attainments and she occupies the position of Treasurer of the Brook lyn East End Art Club. This position marks her as person of intellect, cul- ,ture and refinement and it speaks highly of the respect and trust her fellow women have in her. She writes:

 You may secure the same relief as Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui as she took it. Thedford's Black Draught is the companion medicine of Wine of Cardui and it is liver and bowel regulator which assists greatly in effecting cure. If you take these medicines according to directions, the relief and cure islsimple. Some cases are cured quickly and others take longer because the disease has run longer. Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine of Cardui and has health. The same medicines are offered you to-day.
