was sick for three years, with backache,
headache, pains in my stomach and
back, low down. At times, I could not

After I was married, 1 thought I
would try Cardui, the woman's tonic,
and after using two or three bottles, 1
couldn't tell one day from another-felt
good all the time.
l not only still use Cardui, but advise
every lady I think needs it, to give it a
trial, and several whom 1 have per-
suaded, say they have obtained great
relief.
Another good thing 1 have noticed
about Cardui, is that it fills out hollows
under the eyes, which are sunken as if
from bad spell of sickness. 1t fleshens
up woman's eyes, and makes them
look bright and plump. Many a woman
would be pretty if 1t were not for her

tonic, is the only treatment for women" "
Do you suffer from womanly trouble ?
