Tako Cardul when you feci 111 in any

It has beon found to relievo pain and
distress caused by womanly troubles,
and Is an cxccllont medicine to have on

Cardul acts on tho womanly consti
tution, building up womanly strength,
toning up the nerves, and regulating

Will you try It? It may bo Just what
