It used to be TABOO for girls to discuss this kind of help
Many a girl has suffered from^
cramp-lik-e pain and other distresses due only to periodic functional causes simply because that was a subject people didn’t talk about. Nowadays, thousands of women rely on the 2-way help of CARDUI. Started 3 days before the time and taken as directed, CARDUI should
help relieve purely functional periodic pain. Used as a tonic, it often perks up appetite, increases the flow of gastric juices, thus aiding digestion and thereby helping to build up strength and resistance for the time it’s most needed. CARDUI may help you. A 62year record 8£>'* it’s .worth a .trial
