Pizarro, Va."I suffered for several years,'-- writes Mrs. Uorma A. smith, "with that awful backache and the bear ing down sensations, so fully described in your book. "I tried doctors 2nd other medicines and found little relief, until I was induced to try Wine of Cardui. when 1 found in stant relief and today I can heartily recommend Cardui to a!! suffering women and think there is no other as good." In some instances, Cardui gives instant relief; in others, it may take a little time. But in all cases of female trouble Cardui can be depended on to be of benefit, as it is a specific remedy for women and acts in a curative way on the womanly organs. As a general tonic for women, to build up your strength, improve your appe tite, bring back rosy cheeks and make you look and feel young and happy, nothing you can find will do so much for you as Cardui.

It is almost entirely hereditary in its origin, being the seeds or dregs of some specific blood poison which has been transmitted, in modified form, to the offspring of diseased parentage. Where the blood is specially vitiated Scrofula attacks other portions of the system beaido tbe glands, and we see Its efiocts frequently in weak eyes, poorly developd bodies, running sores and ulcers, ckin diseases like seal ahead, catarrhal troubles etc. WMle the young are tLa umial sufferers from scrofulous troubles, It ia true that it 13 sometimes held in check until middle life is reached, or passed, and then, as the physical system begins to decline, older persons are attacked by. the disease. S. S S. is the oue real and certain cure for Scrofula, It Is a blood purifier without an equal and it cures this destructive blood poison by removing the genus from the blood and so en riching, and building up the circulation that the disease can not remain. S. S. 8. searches out every taint and Impurity from the blood; It gives to tho blood the richness and power necessary to the healthy growth of children, and it strength ens and invigorates the constitutions of older persons, by its fine tonic effects.
