others, or it would not be tbe fa¬
vorite liver powder, with a larger
sate than all others combined.

Read what Cardui did for Miss Myria Engfer, of
Faribault, Minn. She says: “Let me tell you how much
V- good Cardui has done me. As a young girl, I always had
I to suffer so much with all kind of pain. Sometimes, I was
tej so weak that I could hardly stand on my feet I got a
bottle of Cardui, at the drug store, and as soon as I had
taken a few doses, I began to feel better.
Today, 1 feel as well as anyone can.”
