Pollock, La.?"For months," jays Mr?.
T. S. Blair, (if this plate, "my health was

The doctor": medicine tliel me no pood.
I was very weak and nervous, and some

Before I commenced to lake Cardui I

If every sick and oiling woman would
only take Cardui, the woman's tonic, as
Mrs. Blair did. womanly troubles would
not be so widespread as they are now, for
the curative value of this well-known 1
remedy, in all such case?, has been proven
by its more than 50 years of genuine |
success.
If you arc a woman, try Cardui Von
