IS YOUR HEALTH
. GRADUALLY SUPPING?
Interesting Experience of a Texas Lady Who Declares That if More
Women Knew About Cardui They Would Be Spared
Much Sickness and Worry.
Navasota, Texas. Mrs. W. M. Peden,
of this place, relates the following interest
ing account of how she recovered her
strength, having realized that she was
actually losing her health:
"Health is the greatest thing in the
world, and when you feel that gradually
slipping away from you, you certainly sit
up and take notice. That is what I did
some time ago when 1 found myself in a
very nervous, run-down condition of
health. I was so tired and felt so lifeless
I could hardly go at all.
"I was Just no account for work. I
would get a bucket of water and would
feel so weak I would have to set it down
before I felt like I could lift it to the shelf.
In this condition, of course, to do even
my housework was a task almost im
possible to accomplish.
"1 was . . . nervous and easily upset.
I couldn't rest well at night and was . .
just lifeless.
"I heard of Cardui and after reading 1
decided I had some female trouble that
was pulling me down. I sent for Cardui
and began it. . .
"In a very short while after I began the
Cardui Home Treatment I saw an im
provement and it wasn't long until I was
all right good appetite, splendid rest,
and much stronger so that I easily did my
house work.
"Later I took a bottle of Cardui as a
tonic, lean recommend Cardui and glad
ly do so, for if more women knew, it
would save a great deal of worry and
sickness."
The enthusiastic praise of thousands of
other women who have found Cardui
helpful should convince you that it is
worth trying. All druggists sell it.
