On a website called The Museum of Menstruation, there\u2019s a tongue-in-cheek anecdote taken from a 1904 women\u2019s medical journal called \u201cThe\u00a0<\/em>20th Century Song Book\u201d: \u201cMenstrual, kidney & liver problems, constipation & bowels, tiredness, indigestion,colic, colds, chills, fever, childbirth, rheumatism, arthritis, menarche,leuchorrhea, dizziness, pain, headache, Cardui, Wine of Cardui, tonic, \u2018female\u00a0weakness,\u2019 etc.\u201d Perhaps this should be sung to a popular \u201clist song\u201d\u00a0tune like the \u201cTwelve Days of Christmas\u201d or Billy Joel\u2019s \u201cWe Didn\u2019t Start the Fire.\u201d<\/em> – Fading Ads of New York City (History Press, 2011) \u00a9 Frank H.

According to The Mary Frans Muse Weebly:<\/p>\n

In 1880 Dr. McElree’s Wine of Cardui was introduced, a menstrual relief product for women . To maintain the company’s building reputation for quality, the new product was delivered to customers with the agreement that they would pay for it only if fully satisfied with its results. Wine of Cardui immediately became successful, as more than 6,500 women reported cures and sent payment to the company for an initial shipment of 7,000 bottles…. The Company was founded as the Chattanooga Medicine Company on February 21, 1879. It began operations in a small unpretentious 2-story brick building located on a muddy, unpaved road called Market Street in the heart of downtown Chattanooga. At the time, the city of Chattanooga consisted of fewer than 10,000 people whose occupations often centered around the railroad and thriving river port.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
