MRS. BRAGG

In a Personal Letter, She Tells
How Women May Increase
Strength and En-
durance


Indianapolis, Ind g feel so much bet
ter than | ever did in my life, writes Mrs.
Charles Bragg, 1917 Cornell Avenue II
have been real strong since i began to use
Cardui. Tongue cannot tell how much
Cardui has done for me- can do full
days work now without getting tired and
having to stop and lay down every few
minutes. 1t seems to me that there is
nothing to equal Cardui as a tonic and
strengthening medicine
Women who do hard work OF any kind
whether in stores, factories or at home,
often lose strength and energy, and soon
feel and look prematurely old.
To keep young when you begin to feel
tired and unable to do your work, you
should try good strengthening tonic.
You will find in Cardui friend in need.
I. Fifty yearsof success and thousands Of
letters like the above from Mrs. Bragg
surely prove that the best remedy in the
world for women is Cardui, the woman's
tonic.
All druggists sell and recommend
!Cardui.
It will help you.
Try it.
