It did me more good than all the medi

I have induced many of my friends to

has been, and never will be, a medicine
to compare with Cardui. I believe it is
l good medicine jor all womanly trou

For over 50 years, Cardui has been re
lieving woman’s sutferings and building
weak women up to health and strength.
II you are a woman, give it a fair trial.
It should surely help you, as it has a
pillion others.
Get a bottle of Cardui to-day.
