language, easily understood. The
boy plants his corn, tends it, and re-
ports results when the crop is harvest

members each year in both county

SHOOTING PAINS
Michigan Lady Suffered Such Pains
In Back and Head, But Says
Cardui Stopped These
I Bad Spells.

Palmyra, Mich.-Mrs. Chas. T. Full.
Ter, of this place, writes: "In 1911 I
got rundown, and I suffered great
pain. with both dull and sharp
shooting pains. also back and head.
I was weak and could only drag
around, and should have been in bed,
for I really wasn't able to be up. At
times l would have spells that would
be so bad I'd have to go to bed, and
suffered intensely.
decided to try Cardui, and saw a
great improvement in less than a
months time. l used Z or 8 bottles
and was stronger. II got so much
better that my strength returned and
my work was easy for me. Cardui did
me a world of good. 1t built me up in
health and strength. I haven't had one
of those bad spells since. l haven't
had to take any more medicine since
or have any doctors either and have
been able to do my work right along
81 recommend it to other women
highly as the best medicine I know
Of for women who suffer from female
trouble"
II you suffer from female troubles,
follow this advice. Get a bottle Of
Cardui today and give 1t a thorough
trial. It should help you, as it has
helped thousands of other women In
the past 40 years. At all druggists.
