word for Cardui," writes Mrs. Viola
Baker, OF this place.

health. was so weak and nervous thaf
was not able TO do my houSework.
"My husband bought me one bottle OF
Cardui, the woman's tonic. took II ac-
cording 10 directions and now | am IN
good health.

women"
And you are not the only lady who
thinks so, Mrs. Baker.
Thousands, like you, have written to
tell OF the wonderful benefit Cardul has
been TO them.
Cardui contains no minerals, or other
powerful drugs. Ii contains no glycerin
or other mawkish- tasting ingredients.
II is Just a pure, natural extract OF
natural vegetable herbs, that have been
found to regulate the womanly functions
and strengthen the female system.
All druggists sell Cardui.
