some rain but seldom enough to make
a cup without good cultivation.

The Secret of Youth
Do you ever wonder how you can remain young, or
why other women older than you, look younger than you do?
The secret ca. be put in a few words: “Preserve
your health, and you will preserve your youth.”
By “health” we mean not alone physical health, but
nerve health, as, sometimes, magnificently strong-looking
women are nervous wrecks.
But whether you are weak physically or nervously,
you need a tonic, and the best tonic for you is Cardui.
It builds strength for the physical and nervous systems.
It helps put flesh on your bones and vitality into your nerves.
