the time you have lived so years
you have taken so much trouble to

they are something sacred, and
when they get upset or challenged
it just naturally causes an explo-

from their own adrenalin factory

their heart rate just like the
adrenalin you buy at the drug
store, until finally they have

me are all worried about the et-

Questions That
Some Folks Ask
About Cardui

BENEFIT FOR MAL-NUTRITION
Thousands of women testify Car
III has helped them to overcome
nalnutrition and to easy many of
he functional pains of menstrual
ton.
what is meant by helping to
overcome malnutTition'?"
Cardui contains extracts of two
plants which are classed among the
"bitters' in medicine because they
are known to increase the flow of
digestive iuices-to improve diges-
tion-so there is a craving for suf-
ficient food for the body's needs, and
by their action more energy Cor
strength is obtained from the food
eaten. The food, of course, brings
the additional strength, but Cardui
serves as the means to this end by
it's good influence on the digestive
