Iv. Charley Culberson served the
people of this state as attorney gen-
eral for four years, then as governor
four years and has now been a mem-
ber of the seriate for eighteen years
and during all of that time he has
never been caught flirting with the
oil companies or serving the trusts,
neither has he been accused or though
capable of such conduct. This rec-
ord is worth a great deal to him and
offsets in a large measure the fact
that he .is un'able much of the time
to be .in attendance upon the sessions
of the senate.

Mrs. Jay McGee, of Steph-
enville, Texas, writes: "For
nine (9) years, I suffered with
womanly trouble. I had ter-
rible headaches, and pains in
my back, etc. It seemed as if
1 would die, I suffered so. At
last, I decided to try Cardui,
the woman’s tonic, and it
helped me right away. The
full treatment not only helped
me, but it cured me.”
TAKE
Cardui
Tbe Woman’s Tonic
Cardui helps women in time
of greatest need, because it
contains ingredients which act
specifically, yet gently, on the
weakened womanly organs.
So, if you feel discouraged,
blue, out-of-sorts: unable to
do your household work, on
account of your condition, stop
worrying and give Cardui a
trial. It has helped thousands
of women,—why not you?
Try Cardui. E-71
