Medicines patched me up for awhile but then I would get worse again. Final ly, my husband decided he wanted me to try Cardui, the woman’s tonic, so he bought me • bottle and I began using it. It did me more good than all the medi cines I had taken. I have induced many of my friends to try Cardui, and they ail say* they have been benefited by its use. There never has been, and never will be, a medicine to compare with Cardui. 1 believe it is ; a good medicine for all womanly troy- bles.” For over 50 years, Cardui has been re- ! lieving woman's sufferings and building weak women up to health and strength, i If you are a woman, give it a fair trial, i It should surely help you, as it has a million others. .
