Mrs. White, Unable to Sleep, Tells
How She Brought Back
Natural Sleep.
Gastonia, N. C.?Mrs. Ellen White, ol
this, city, says: "I suffered for several
years with womanly troubles.
I could not rest at night.
I began taking Cardui, the woman's
tonic, and before I had finished one bot?
tle I could sleep well. It just acted like
a charm.
Since taking Cardui I have been in
better health than for 10 years. It is the
best medicine I ever used. It did me
more good than the doctors.
I can certainly recommend Cardui to
all suffering women, for I have been
greatly benefited by its use. It will build
them up.
Cardui has been worth its weight in
gold to me, for now I am well and hearty."
No matter how long-standing the trou?
ble, Cardui will help. It is a tonic remedy.
It is prepared for women to bring relief
from womanly ailments.
It helps sleeplessness, one of the most
common symptoms of nervous break?
down. It helps build nerves and system.
Made from strictly vegetable ingredi?
ents, it has no ill effects on any organ of
the body, but acts naturally, gently and
safely. j
You can rely on Cardui. It will do for
you what it has done for thousands of
others.
It will help you. Try' it.
