How About Your Blood?

ing properly impurities get into the
blood and the blood carries them into
every nook and corner of the body,
scattering the seeds of disease and death
instead of the essence of life and
strength.
When that happens you have dyspep-
STA, rheumatism, malaria, constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and all sorts
of difficulties. Then-unless you are
different from most people-you dose
yourself with all sorts of queer " cures"
instead of going right to the seat of the
difficulty and getting your blood cleaned
up.
We urge you to take Smiths Green
Mountain Renovation. This medicine is
new in this section, but up in Old YER
mont it has been in constant use for
generations, curing where all other
medicines fail-the standard, all-the-
year-round medicine of the healthiest
people in America. Capitalists, noting
its wonderful history, have now secured
it and placed it on the market, and we
have secured the sole agency here.
If you are sick or run down and gem
orally played OUT this medicine is
what you need. Just give it trial and
see whether it is good or not.
If you can say that it hasn't helped
you, we will refund all the money you
have paid us for the medicine.
