“My mother,” writes Mrs. Z. L. Adcock, of Smith-
ville, Tenn., “is 44 years old and is passing through the
change of life.
“She was irregular and bloated and suffered terribly.
My father stepped over to the store and got her a bottle
of Cardui, which she took according to directions and now
she is up, able to do her housework and says she feels
like a new woman.”- Try Cardui in your own case.
