Birmingham, Ala.—-“I first took
Cardui for that tired, worn-out feeling
that comes from being dreadfully run-
down,” says Mrs. Catherine E. Smith,
of 2106 Stout Street “Twenty-five
years ago, I was suffering from wom-
anly weakness.
I read of Cardiff in an almanac, and
thought I would try it. I got a bottle
and it helped me from the first. After
that, during the whole of my married
life, I took Cardui when I needed it
“About four years ago, change of
life came on me. . . I grew weaker
and weaker, and was confined to my
bed, where I lay on my back for days.
I was told that only a severe operation
could do me any good, and this de-
pressed me very much, for I dreaded
such an ordeal. ....
“I remembered how Cardul had
helped me for female trouble in the
past and I had read of how it had
helped other women during change of
life, so one night I told my husband
to go to the drug store and get me a
bottle. I began taking it at once.
From the first dose I could feel myself
getting stronger. . . I continued, w
take Cardui until I was entirely
through this very trying period of •
woman's life.”
