SPELLS THAT
LASTED TEN DAYS
Ringgold Lady Makes a Statement |
That Deserves Prompt Inves?
tigation by Every Woman
in This Country.
Ringgold. Ga.?Mrs. Clarissa Black, of
this place, says: "I suffered so from wo?
manly troubles that I could not stand on
my feet long at a time.
I had pains in my right side and in my
back, and I would take sick spells at times
that lasted eight or ten days.
The doctor treated me, but I failed to
obtain relief, and I tried various other,
remedies without benefit.
It seemed I was growing worse.
At last I commenced using Cardui, the
woman's tonic, and before the first bottle
was gone I felt better.
By continuing its use for a while I am
now entirely cured.
I am in better health than I have been
in a long time. I am feeling ju6t fine.
I am grateful for what Cardui has done
for me, and wish every poor, suffering
woman would take Cardui and be well
again."
If you suffer from any of the troubles so
common to weak women, what reason I
could there be for your not giving Cardui
at least a j'air trial}
For more than fifty years Cardui has
been used with entire satisfaction by |
thousands of weak and ailing women. It
will surely help you, too.

He'd been 'round the world and he's
broadened a lot.
He thinks and he jpcaks with a
vigor and vim.
He Is active In mind and he's active
in limb.
Ho has brushed up against all the

And there's not a thought that is nar?

He has seen all the best and he's seen
all the worst.
And he's full of ideas that are really
worth while,
Which he tells you about In a rare,
breezy Ptyle;
He has got It, four ways from the
dinky old deuce
On the feller who never has traveled
a mile.
There Is never an atom of moss on
his back.
He hasn't sat still and grown orusty
and sour.
His knowledge of life gives him
courage and power.
Ho thinks and he speaks with a
of the town.
And it's pleasure to disten to bim oy
the hour.
He is not at all versed In the petty
affairs.
On all village scandal he places the
ban.
The news of the big world events he
will scan,
And he knows what Life means, for
he's seen It himself.
I In order words, travel has made him
a man.
