which l did.
This last Cardui which | took made
me much better, in fact, cured me. I
have no return of this trouble.
I feel it was Cardui that cured me,
and I recommended it as a splendid
female tonic"
Don't allow yourself to become weak
and rundown from womanly troubles.
Take Cardui. It Should surely help
you, as it has many thousands of
other women in the past 40 years.
Headache, backache, sideache, nervous
ness, sieeplessness, tired-out feeling,
are all signs Of womanly trouble.
Other women get relief by taking
carlui. Why not you? All drug
