Less Monthly Discomfort
Many women, who formerly
suffered front a weak, run-
down condition as a re nit of
[Hxir u.'.sinuUlion of lo.nl. say
they b< nefiled by taking CAR-
DUI, a special medicine for
women. They found It helped
to increase the appetite and
Improve digestion, thereby
bringing them more strength
from their food
Naturally there Is less dis-
comfort at monthly periods
when the system has been
strengthened and the various
functions restored and regu-
lated.
Cardul, praised by thousand* of
women, la well worth trying Of
course. If not benefited, consult a
physician.
