Nervous and Restless, and Kept
Getting Worse, Says Arkansas
Lady. Cardui Brought
Relief.
Marmaduke, Ark.—Mrs. Mary E.
Hill, near this place, writes: "I was
In a very wretched state of health. I
would be in bed two or three weeks
at a time...nnd would have fainting
spells. I was so weak and, Oh! how
my back hurt me. I was so nervous
and restless I couldn't sleep—didn't
have any appetite and kept getting
worse. Every one was so uneasy
about me.
I cannot exactly describe two awful
spells I had...I had a shortness of
breath and would smother at night. I
couldn't move or cry out. I felt like
I would die. My limbs would get
numb and feel very uncomfortable.
We used many medicines, and I didn't
get better.
I had read of Cardui in the Birth-
day Alinana; and had often heard
that it was a good medicine. I be-
gan to take it according to directions
and began to improve. I soon was
strong and able to do my work. I
cannot praise Cardui enough. I have
every reason to believe that it saved
my life."
Tested and proven in every way by
many women, over a period of more
than 40 years, Cardui has attained its
present high standing and popularity
because of the satisfactory results se-
cured from its use.

need a good, reliable, tonic medicine
