Blood Was Wrong All women, who suffer from the achos and pains, due to female ailments, are urged to try Cardui, the reliable, scientific, tonic remedy, for women. Cardui acts promptly, yet gently, a:ul without bad effects, on the womanly system, relieving pain, building up strength, regulating the system, and toning up the nerves. During the past half century, thousands of ladies have written to tell of the quick curative results they obtained, from the use of this well-known medicine. TAKE The bmansTonic Mrs, Jane Callehan suffered from womanly trouble for nearly ten years. In a letter from Whiteville, N. C, ahe says: "I was not able to do my own housework. My stomach was weak, and my blood was wrong. I had back? ache, and was very weak. I tried several doctors, but they did me no good. I used Cardui for 3 or 4 months, and now I am in the best health I have ever been. I can never praise Cardui enough." It is the best tonic, for women. Whether seriously sick, or simply weak, try Cardui. Write to: Ladiea' Advisory Dept. Chattanoofa Medicine Co.. Chartanoota, TetUL, for Special Instructions, and 64-page book.
