BADLY RUN-DGV7H |
Kentucky Woman Had "Terrible i
Time" Doing Her Home Work, j
Strength Returned After
She Took Cardui.
Shelbyville, Ky.—"Several year*
ago," says Mr». Alven Jesse, of this
place, "my health was very bad. I
waa very much run-down. I was in
such a weak, nervous condition that
I waa not able to do my housework.
"I struggled to keep up, because I
had to, but many a time I spent
hour* in bed, trying to force enough
strength to go through the daily
routine.
"This condition went on for some
time, until I heard about Cardui,
which some one told me was good
for such ailments. I gave it an im- :
mediate trial, and, I am thankful to
say, my improvement was rapid. I ;
soon was able to do my housework
with ease and comfort I felt fine
and I looked so much better.
"This spring I was not as well as
I had been. I was ill in the winter
with colds, which left.me weak. So
I sent at once to the store for Cardui
and began taking it In Just a little ;
while I was feeling much better, my
1 strength returned and I was able to
get my work done easier and with
less effort"
