"BuiId-Up" Relief
Explsined to Women

A simple method has saved many
women q lot of suffering!
1t Is based on the fact that head
aches, nervousness, cramp-like pain
are often symptoms of functional
dysmenoyrhea due to malnutrition.
Help for this condition so often
follows the use of CARDUI, be-
cause 1t usually increases the ap-
petite and the flow of gastric juice;
thus aids digestion and helps build
physical resistance. Usual result
is less periodic distress.
Many who take CARDUI a few
days before and during "the time"
have found this helps ease periodic
discomfort. Women have used
CARDUI for more than SO years!
