Blood.

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or rpoor
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re.
freshed, bone MUSCLE and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take SCOTS Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil. 1t sets the
whole body going again-man
