 My chief suffering was in my back. I could not tell how badly it ached, but
 it seemed as if it could not possibly
 ache worse. Whenever I would get tired. or if l was much on my feet, it would ache. Cardui was all the medi- cine I took.
 I saw, with the first bottle, that was being benefited. but l kept right on for five bottles regularly. By this time I was so I could do all my own work, which for some time l had not been able to do.
