A weak, undernourished condition
often enables functional dysmenor-
rhea to get a foothold; thus leads
to much of woman’s suffering from
headaches, nervousness, and other
periodic discomfort.
CARDUI’S principal help for such
distress comes from the way it
usually stimulates appetite; in-
creases flow of gastric juice; thus
aids digestion; helps build energy,
strength, physical resistance to
periodic pain for many.
Another way, many women find
help for periodic distress: Take
CARDUI a few days before and dur-
ing "the time.” Women have used
CARDUI for more than 50 years!
