least a year for eczema on my foot. l
had tried doctor after doctor all to
no avail. When a young girl l sprained
my ankle three different times, paying
little or no attention to it, when five
years ago a small spot showed upon
my left ankle. I was worried and sent
for a doctor. He said it was eczema
He drew a small bone from the ankle
about the size Of a match and about
an inch long. The small hole grew
to about the size of an apple, and the
eczema spread to the knee. The doc
tors never could heal the hole in the
ankle. The whole foot ran water all
the time.

rett. Of this place. says: Il suffered
every month. for a year. and got
weaker every day. My head and back
would ache so bad. l could not sit up.
I tried all kinds of medicines, and
they all failed to cure me. Then my
mother told me to take Cardui. When
l had taken n bottle. I was able to
do all Of my work. l can recommend
Cardui to be the greatest woman's
remedy in the world. I have used It
and know what 1t will do"
When a woman Is Ill. the real trou.
BILE is generally some arrangement Of
her constitution. and the headache,
and backache. ETC., are merely symp'
toms Of her womanly weakness. The
proper treatment, therefore, is Cardui
the woman's tonic. No other medi
cine. or tonic. has exactly the SAINT
results as Cardui. No other has thu
record Of SO many years of successful
use In cases of womanly ailments.
II Mrs. Garrett had taken Cardu
sooner, she might have been spare'
the long sickness and much suffering
A few doses of Cardui at the RICH
time will often save serious suffering
and prevent a long sickness. Don
delay. Begin to take Cardui at once.
