I suffered for four months with |
extreme nervousness and l.wsitudo. |
I had a sinking feeling in my I
stomach which no medicine neemed
to relievo, and losing my appetite |
I became weak and lost tny vital
ity. In three weeks I lost fourteen I
pounds of thish and felt that I must I
find speedy relief to regain my I
health. Having heard Wine of I
Cartlni praised by several of myj
friends, I sent for a bottle and was I
certainly very pleased with tho
results. Within three days my
appetite returned and my stomach
troubled me no more. I could I
digest my food'llthout difficulty
and Urn nervousness gradually
diminished. Nature performed
her functions without difficulty
and I am once more a happy and |
well woman.
