Don’t Suffer!
“ I had been troubled, a little, for nearly 7 years,” writes
Mrs. L Fincher, in a letter from Peavy, Ala., “but I was
not taken down, until March, when I went to bed and had
to have a doctor. He did all he could for me, but I got no
better. 1 hurt all over, and I could not rest At last, I tried
Cardui, and soon 1 began to improve. Now I am in very
good health, and able to do all my housework.”
CARDUI Woman’s Tonic
You may wonder why Cardui is so successful, after
other rerfiedies have failed. The answer is that Cardui is
successful, because it is composed of scientific ingredients,
that act curatively on the womanly system. It is a medicine
for women, and for women only. It builds, strengthens, and
restores weak and ailing women, to health and happiness.
If you suffer like Mrs. Fincher did, take Cardui. It
will surely do for you, what it did for her. At all druggists.
