Many who suffer from headaches

by CARDUI.
Main way It helps relieve periodic
distress is by increasing appetite
and flow of gastric Juice. Thus it
often aids digestion: helps build
strength energy resistance to
periodic disturbances.
Others find help for periodic dis-
comtort this way: Start a few dav*
