Ready, Ky —" 1 was not able to do ,
anything for nearly six months,” writes |
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, “and *
was down in bed for three months,
t cannot tell you how 1 suffered with
my head, and with nervousness and 1
womanly troubles. j
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had *
to give it up. We tried another doctor, t
but he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take '
Cardui, the woman's tonic. 1 thought <
it was no use for 1 was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But »
1 took eleven bottles, and now 1 am able
to do all of my work and my own
washing.
I think Cardui is the best medicfpe In 1
the world. My weight has increased,
and 1 look the picture of health.' ” (
If you suffer from any of the ailment*
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know
it will help you, for it has helped so i
many thousands of other weak women
la the past 60 year*.
