Atlanta, da. or the S10A as to sched In Bad Fix "I had a mishap at the age of 41, which left me in bad fix," writes Mrs. Georgia Usher, of Conyers, Ga. "1 was unconscious for three days, and after that I would have fainting spells, dizziness, nervousness, sick headache, heart palpitation and many strange feelings. "I suffered greatly with ailments due to the change of life and had 3 doctors, but they did no good, so I concluded to try Cardui. 'Since taking Cardui, I am so much better and can do all my housework." T% CARDUI J 41 The Woman's Tonic Do not allow yourself to get into a bad fix. You might get in so bad you would find it hard to get out. Better take Cardui while there is time, while you are still in moderately good health, just to conserve your strength and keep you in tip top condition. In this way your troubles, whatever they are, will grad ually grow smaller instead of larger?you will be on the up-grade instead of the down?and by and bye you will arrive at the north pole of perfect health.
