Life
Was a
Misery
Mrs. P. M. Jones, ol
Palmer, Okla., writess
"From the time I en
tered into womanhood
... I looked with dread
from one month to the
next: I suffered with my
back and bearing-down
pgp, until life to me was
a misery. I would think
I could not endure the
pain any longpr, and I
gradually got worse. .
Nothing seemed to help
me until, one day,., -"
I decided to
TAKE
The Woman's Tonic
"1I took four bottles,"
Mrs. Jones goes on to
say, "and was not only
greatly relieved, but can
truthfully say that I have
not a pain. ..
" It has now been two
years since I took Cardui,
and I am still in good
health. . . I would ad
vise any woman or girl
to use Cardul who is a
sufferer from any female
trouble."
If yousufferpaincaised
from womanly trouble, or
if you feel the need of a
good strengthening tonic
jobuildupyourrun-down
system, take the advice
of Mrs. Jones. TryCar
dul. It helped her. We
believe it will help you.
