"I was weak and nervous
and run-down," writes Mra.
Kdlth Sellers, of 46C N.
21st St.. East St Louis, III.
"I couldn't aleep nights. I
was ao nstlesa. I felt tired
and not In condition to do
ray work. I would hare
such pains In tny stomach
that I waa afraid I would
get down tn bed. .1. My
mother came to see me and
suggested that I use
CARDUI
The Woman's Tonic
I felt better after my flrat
bottle. I had a better
appetite. It aeemed to
strengthen and build me
up. I am ao glad to recom
mend Cardul for what It
did for me. 1 haven't
needed any medicine since
I took Cardul, and 1 am
feeling fine."
Nervousness, r e a 11 e a a
nesa. sleeplessness?these
symptoms ao often are the
result of a weak, run-down
condition, and may de
velop more aerloualy If not
treated In time.
