new from head to foot. 1t gave him
sleep, appetite, and strength.
After trying many doctors, hospi-
tails, and medicines in vain, Mrs. j. S.
DAILY, of Cambridge, Mass, had also
abandoned hope, when Puritana was
brought to her relief. 1t gave her
strength and health, pure, rich blood,
vigorous digestion, and raised her
from the sick bed to the full vigor
of happy womanhood.
Yes, one drop of Puritana will
bring more real relief, more real cure,
more real strength, more real nerve
force, more real power and vital
energy, more real " life-is-worth-
living" than dipperful, a bucketful,
barrelful of so-called tonics, blood
cures, nerve foods, pills, and doubtful
preparations from unknown sources,
that is the reason why Puritana is
the most economical medicine as
well as the most effective in the
world.
