Take Uudes j Pepto-Mangan THE BEST KNOWN BLOOD TONIC Urowsj Spring-Fever Feeling That Comes l'rom Slugish Blood Will Soon Leave IYOU As all growin things on earth shoot into now life in Springtime, so do the billions of cells that make up each part of the body renew their vigor. As you open the windows, breathe the Spring air, and let the sunshine, the red corpuscles in your blood Bhoul .carry more oxygen to the tiny cells. The red Corpuscles are tiny disc: shaped particles, swimming in enor mous numbers, in the blood. They ■ carry oxygen to the cells in all parts ol' the body, and they carry away worn-out waste matter. Sometimes es petittttly in the Spring, after the win ter indoors and more or less sickness, the red corpuscles themselves need rebuilding. Gude's Pepto-Mangan contains just the ingredients to give them greater power to obsorl; oxygen and to distribute it through out the body. That is why it is such a good spring tonic. It helps so much to bring back color to cheeks made pale and wan by the necessary indoor winter life. It adds to the number of red corpucles. Witli fine spring days and Gude's I'epto-Mungan you gain in vigor and attain good health. Don't go arouad drowsy this Spring. Take that good tonic, Gude's Pepto- Mangan. You ;an get it in tablet form or fn ifquid form at your drug gist's. Both forms have the same medi cinal value. Insist upon genuine Guile's Pepto Mangan. Advertisement.
