Atlanta. Some of my
friends. who live only two blocks from
me. did not know me when they met
me on the street the other day. writes
Mrs. Matte Christopher, of this oity.
Il look so much better now. than
they ever saw me. They were surprised.
and asked me to excuse them for not
speaking to me.
l told them felt better too. and that
1t was all due to Cardui. the woman 5
tonic.
I had suffered for 20 years with fe-
male trouble. which, at times. was so
bad that for SIX weeks | would go on
without seeing anything.
Home remedies and doctors medi-
cines did me no good, but Cardu
worked ike a charm.
l will always praise Cardui for what
It has done for me.
If you are pale, don't use the rouge
pot and change your appearance by ar
tihcial means.
Follow a more natural course and
take Cardui. the woman tonic.
1t will enrich your blood, build UP
your constitution. and make you look

doing for other ladies during the past
half a century.
