YOUR BLOOD MADE NEW.

Your heart beats about sixty thousand times a day. Every drop of blood in your veins visits every part of your body about five hundred times each twenty four hours. Is 1t any wonder that many troubles arise when the blood is not right?
 Is 1t hard to understand why health quickly returns when you take a remedy like Dr. Harters Iron Tonic, a remedy that purifes and enriches the blood?
 It does far more than that, because 1t Is the perfect example of everything that tonic stands for. But 1t would be a wonderful remedy if its power to make red. rich blood was its only property. IL is far better than so-called blood prifiers Is far better than so-called blood purifiers blood.
 It is not one of the crude forms of iron that injures the teeth and stomach, but a delicate. harmless form that is almost instantly passed from the stomach to the blood. In the blood 1t battles against other ingredients of that famous remedy, It rids the system of all impurities and helps each sluggish organ to do its full duty.
 If you have skin disease, rheumatism, stomach trouble. nervousness. or If you have any reason to believe that your, blood is disordered or that your health Is running down, be just to yourself and try this remedy.
 br. Harter's Iron Tonic has for forty five years been made only by The Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,, Dayton, Ohio. SolA everywhere. |.
