How Cardui
Helps Women
"Mal-nutrilion" means that your
body is not getting enough to keep
it up, that what it has to do 18
not clone well. You may not be eat-
ing enough to keep up the work of
the body, or there may bo something
wrong that keeps you from getting
full value from the food you ©at.
Because of mal-nutrltlon, some
women have aches and pains every
month. Such pains should not bo
neglected.
Take Cardui to give you a better
appetite, to give you more strength
from the food you eat — to build up
and increase your feeling of well-
being. Aches and pains go away as
you build up with the help of Cardui
