"During that time, I have taken it several times and have frequently recommended it to others, for it is a splendid medicine and I am glad to give peo ple the benefit of my experience. 1 have been a nurse for several Years and have often come in con tact with patients who were run down and weak. Often I have told sufferers of Cardui, and the way I, myself, had been helped after tak ing it, and advised them to give it a trial. Many of them have irinn* thanked me for what I told them, so I am willing that other women should know about it, too. "I first took Cardui because I was awfully run-down. I had no appe tite, and was weak and listless. It was hard to keep going under such conditions, and I looked for some thing which would help me. "I had read of Cardui and decided to try it. After taking it, I improv ed so much that I have taken it since whenever 1 needed a tonic." Sold by all druggists.
