prosperity and efficiency, eapeclally

establishment of a credit system, and
It would be possible to obtain loan on

WOMAN WON
Her Health and Strength Back.
Aain by The Use of CarduL
Tampa, Fla. Tn a letter from this
city, Mrs. E. C. Cortim writes: "I was
all weakened and worn out with wo
manly troubles. My husband brought
me some Cardul as a tonic, and, from
the first day, It seemed to help.
I had almost lost my reason, but,
thanks to Cardul, I did not. Soon, I
felt and looked like a new woman, ji
think the remedy Is wonderful. I
recommend It to my friends, for I hava
received great benefit from It."
Cardul acts specifically on the weak
ened womanly organs, strengthening
the muscles and nerves, and building
them up to health.
t hnit, in rnfrimti the worn-out ner-
rmia avplnni nml relleveq the effects Of
overwork, both mental and physical.
Fifty years auccessiui use iunj
nrove the merit of this purely vege
table, tonic remedy for women.
In every community, tnere live some
who have been benefited by Cardul.
The beneficial effects oi xnis umi
tested woman's remedy, soon show
themselves In many different ways.
