says Mrs.Sylvan& Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., In
writing of her experience with Cardui, fhe woman's
tonic She says further : "Before I began to use
Cardui. my back and head would, hurt so -bad,. I
thougtirthe pain would kill me. . I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, 1 began to feel like a hew woman.' I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
I wish every suffering woman would give
The Woman's Tonic
a trial I still use Cardui when 1 feel a little bad,
and it always does me good."
Headache, backache, , side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc, are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's
tonic You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble.;Slt has been helping weak, ailing
women forvmbre&an fifty years. ...
