You Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman's life when she
needs a tonic to hetp her over the hard places.
When Jhat time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take Cardui, the woman's tonic. Cardui is com
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and - health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wondenul,
success, and it will do the same for you.
You can't make a mistake in taking
The Woman's Tonic
Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark.,
says: "I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on'earth,
for women. Before I began to take Cardui, I was
so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and
as strong as I ever did. and can eai most anything."
