Was Suffering Dreadfully, Jos!
1 Wasting Away.’' Toak
Cardui, and Says It
Helped Her.
Arlington, Texas.—A resident of
this town for many years, Mrs. J. H.
Jackson, says:
"I had suffered dreadfully with an
aching all over my body. At times
mv head would give me so much
trouble I could hardly stand it. I
had been in bed for weeks and it
looked like I was just wasting away.
*T took 9 bottles oPCardui and my
fctrength began to slowly return.
"Since that time I have used this
medicine u good many times and it
has always helped me.
"At one time I took Cardid for
several months regularly. I would
be afflicted with sudden spells of
dizziness when 1 could not stand on
my feet Everything would turn
black Itcfore my eyes nnd I would
feel as if I were going to faint. At
times I would be quite nauseated. I
turned at once to Cardui and took
It till I was safely through.”
Cnrdui is a mild, medicinal tonic,
made from purely vegetable ingredi
ents. It has been in use for over 50
years, and in that time thousands
of women have written that Cardui
helped them back to good health.
