 l have had a soreness in my side so that I could not lie on it to sleep. The back of my head hurt me a great deal. too so that had to lie with my head high on the pillow. Once a month would have a great deal of backache. Then I would suffer from dizziness, which would be so bad I could hardly sit up and would have very queer feeling in my head. The neighbors all advised me to have a doctor, but I had heard great deal of Cardui and de- cided to take that I swelled a great deal. too. When that first began on me I would want to stretch and when would stretch, the pain would run to my hips and shoulders
 But I began to take Cardui, and be- fore I had taken a half bottle I began to feel better and the swelling began to go down. The pain began to dimin- ish and by the time I had taken two bottles felt well enough to quit talk ing it. think it is the grandest medicine that women can use. Take Cardui.
