"I just dragged, and I certainly was
nervous. I was so restless 1 could not
sit down long—yet so weak 1 couldn’t
get about. It is a most miserable and
such a helpless feeling.
“1 would get depressed and out of
heart.
“1 began to feel, after awhile, there was
no use to try to get well. This is all
wrong, for it makes a person worse.
“I had heard of Cardui, and thought it
might strengthen me. A neighbor had

wonders for me, and I certainly do
recommend it.”
