TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the onky sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will lthor-
oughly and quickly assirnilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
mol blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.
