Helps Women
Avoid Pains

MORE than half a century
of successful use has shown
that Cardui helps women to
avoid much that they for
merly suffered-misery from
minor functional disturb
ances, monthly suffering due
to a weakened condition.
Cardui acts as q tonic for
the system, and tends to
improve the general health.
1t Is Of especial value to
weak, nervous, rundown
women, needing just such
a strengthening medicine.
Those who suffer every
month should build up their
strength to assist in the nat
ural correction of the painful
condition. When you need
Cardui, buy a bottle and
take 1t regularly and per-
sistently. Perhaps several
bottles will be needed. Fin
