There are times in every woman's life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take Cardul, the woman's tonic. Cardui is com
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womaniy 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 wonderful
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.,
ays: "I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth,
or women. Before i
so weak and nervous,
spells and a poor appetite. Now 1 feel as well and
as strong-as I ever did. and can eai most anything."
Begin taking Cardul today. Sold by all dealers.
