well, of this.town says: "When about15 years of age, I suffered greatly.SomelLrmes would go a month or two,and I had terrible headache, backache,and bearing down paitrvs, un£ wouldjust drag and had no appetite. ThenIt would last two weeks, and was so

weakening, and my healbh was awful.'My mother bought me a bottle of

Cardui, and' I began to improve aftertaking the first battle, so kept it uptill I took three. I gained, and was welland strong, and 1 owe it all to Car¬dui.

I am married now xnd have 3 chd-^dren. Have never had to have a doc¬tor for female trouble, and just resort

to Cardui if I need a tor.ic. I am gladto testify to what it has done for me,so as to help others.

If you are nervous or weak, haveheadaches, backaches, or any of tljeother ailments so common to women,why not give Cardui a trial? Recom¬mended by many physicians. In use

over 40 years.Begin taking Cardui today. It may

be the eery medicine you need.

FN CONSTANT USE BYPHYSICIANS EVERY DAY

Medicinal Value of S. S. S. la FullyRecognized.

Almost every human ailment can

be traced, one way or another, toimpurities in the blood. So youcannot overestimate the impor¬tance of keeping your circulationbuilt up, so that your heart will beconstantly pumping rich, red, life-giving blood to all parts of thesystem. Any slight disorder or im¬purity that creeps into the blood isa source of danger, for every vitalorgan of the body depends uponthe blood supply to properly per¬form its functions. It is quitetrue that practically every one isequally exposed to the attacks ofdisease. You are just as liable tobe attacked as the man or woman

sitting next to you on the streetcar. It all depends upon the con¬

dition of your blood. If it is thinand impoverished, and has beenallowed to reach a low state bythe accumulation of impurities,you have not sufficient vitality toresist these germ attacks, and theyfind a fertile field in your systemto spread disease.Over a hundred years ago the In¬

dians made many excellent rem-

dies and tonic from roots andherbs gathered from the forests.

One of these formulas was hand¬ed down to the white man and for

more than fifty years has been"used as S. S. S., which is recogniz-ed as the best known blood medi¬cine on the market.This fine old remedy is still made

as of old from roots and herbs ofproven medicinal value. In fact,physicians everywhere recognizethe wonderful efficiency of theseroots, and they are prescribed insome form or other almost daily.An *

now after being in con- ;stant use for more than half a

century, S. S. S. is more popularthan ever. It is sold by practicallyevery drug store in the land, andevery druggist is well acquaintedwith its sterling merit, for theyhave seen its results.

S. S. S. is a yery valuable agentin the treatment of Catarrh, Rheu¬matism, Eczema, Tetter boils, pim¬ples, skin eruptions, malaria, andother disorders that come fromblood impurities.

It is also without an equal as a

general tonic and system builder.By its efficacy in cleansing theblood of impurities, it builds up theappetite and gives new life andvigor to the entire body.You are invited to write for val¬

uable literature and medical ad¬vice, which will be sent withoutcost. Address Chief Medical Ad¬viser, Swift Laboratory, Atlanta.
