/ Feel So Tired.

How often do we hear this and similar
expressions from tired, overworked women
and weary men, who do not know where to
find relief. For that intense WEAKNESS, so
common and SO discouraging, we earnestly
recommend Vogeler's Curative Compound.
1t is not stimulant but a true blood purifier
and strength restoring tonic, safe and sure
which will gradually build up all the weak
organs in such way as to be lasting
benefit. A fair trial of free sample bottle
which St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd, of Baltimore,
Nd, will send you for the asking, will con-
vince anyone of its wonderful medicinal
value. 1t will drive all impurities from The
blood, give nerve, mental and bodily strength
and vigour and make the sufferer wholly
new being. 1t creates an appetite, makes one
sleep and makes the weak strong. Do not
forget that Vogeler's Curative Compound
is made from the formula of London
physician, who has given years of study to
same. Sample bottle free from St. Jacobs
Oil, Ltd, Baltimore.
