Many thousands of
women suffering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the use
of Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z.V. Spell,
of Hayne, N. C. “I could
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly/'
she says. “As my suf
fering was so great, and
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr. - had us
get Cardui. . . I began
improving, and it cured
me. I know, and my
doctor knows, what Car
dui did for me, for my
nerves and health were
about gone.”

The Woman’s Tonic
She writes further: 441
am in splendid health . , .
can do my work. 1 feel 1
owe it to Cardui, for I was
in dreadful condition.”
If you are nervous, run
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi
cine for the good it has
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
years, endorse this medi
cine. Think what it mean*
to be in splendid health,
like Mrs. Spell. Give
Cardui a trial.
