Fred F. Gerding, architect, of
Groosbeck, Texas, says: "Some
years ago Doan's Kidney Pills
were "suggested to me for pain in
my back. All other remedies I
had taken had failed to remove
it. To bend from one position to
another sent sharp twinges
hrough my body. During these
times I became perfectly helpless
and had to give up doing any
kind £f work. After I had taken
Doan's Kidney Pills, I became
convinced that they were the best
medicine for my kidneys that I
had ever tried. Since then, 1

that they were the best medicine

It Always Kelps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's
tonic. She says further: "Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, 1
thought the pain would kill me. 1 was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
The Woman's Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good."
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman-
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.
