Texas City, Tex.—In an Interesting
statement, Mrs. G. H. Schlll, of this
town, says: "For three years I suf
fered untold agony with my head. I
was unable to do any of my work. I
Just wanted to sleep all the time, for
that was Hie only ease I could get,
when I was asleep. I became a ner
vous wreck just from the awful suf
fering with my head.
I was so nervous that the least
noise would make me jump out of my
bed. I had no energy, and was un
able to do anything: My son, a young
boy, l.ad to do all my household duties.
I was not able to do anything until I
took Cardui. I took three bottles In
all, and It surely cured me of those
awful headaches. That has been three
years ago, and I know the care la per
manent, for I have never had any
headache since taking Cardui. * *
Nothing r< lleved me until I took
Cardui. It did wonders for me. Three
bottles of it did more for me than all
the n edteine or doctor's treatments,
or baths I ever took".
Try Cardui for your troubles—it
should do for you what it has done for
so many thousands of other women.
