A Road to Health
and Happiness.
If a person is weak, feels tired or
run down, there is no reason for re
maining in that condition if you want
to be strong and healthy. Healthy
people are the happy people. People
who always feel tired cannot be happy
and contented.
If you have that tired, weak feeling,
go to Long's Drug Store and get a
bottle of Syrup of Hypophosphites. It
is a reconstructive tonic in bronchitis,
mal-nutrition, nervous exhaustion,
emaciation and strumous skin affections.
It aids nutrition of the structural parts
of the body and is a reconstituent and
tonic for convalescents from wasting
and debilitating diseases.
Get a bottle today and begin at once
to build yourself up. For Sale by Long
