Then, when at last the tortures of incubation are over and the disease Is in full swing, the whole world is metamorphosed for them. This is the stage of delirium, in | which they see glorious visions And ! move among phantoms. For there is only one woman in all ihe world. She is a queen, a .goddess. Her faults are virtues, her virtues divine. Her voice, though it be raucous hs that of raven, is sweetest music: her face, her form, are the crown of female perfection.

"I kept getting headaches and' havihg to go to bed," continues Mrs. Williams describing the troubles from which she obtained relief through the use of Cardui. "My husband, having heard of Cardui, proposed getting it for me, "I saw after taking some Cardui .. . that I was improving. The resuli was surprising. I felt like a different person. "Later I suffered from weakness and weak back, and felt all run-down. I did not rest well at night, I was so nervous and cross. My husband said he would get me some Cardui, which he did. It strengthened me . . . My doctor said I got along fine. I was in good healthy condition. I cannot cay too much for it." Thousands of women have suffered as Mrs. Williams describes, until they found reli&f from the use of Cardui.
