to \isit Brownsville

‘‘I slipped my gun under my hat and turned around.

inta Cuba fttul Mexico. The chase
lasted more than five years and re
sell Ited in the capture, trial and con
viction of 70 high-powered confi
dence men. The remarkable thing
about the unparalleled exploit of
Norfleet is the fact that although hi
personally arrested his men, he cap
tured them all without firing a shot.

year chase at the Junior High audi

“My mother knew of the good
Cardui could do, so she told me to
take it. I sent and got a bottle, and
seemed like all the time I grew
stronger.
“I had oeen suffering with pains
in my sides all the time, and Cardui
helped this wonderfully. I needed
a tonic for female trouble, and Car
dui just fitted the need. 1 was awful
ly restless and could not sleep at
night, but after taking two bottles
of Cardui 1 could sleep ’like a top*.
I got along all right, and 1 know it
was due to Cardui. I can certainly
recommend it to women suffering
from women’s troubles.
*‘My present health is just fine.**
Thousands of women have written
to tell how Cardui relieved them of
