GET STRONG.

To get much benefit or hap
piness out Of life one must have
che average degree of strength.
Weak persons always miss the
cream and marrow Of what the
world has to offer. And yet
what multitudes are weak! They
would freely give all they have
for strength and vigour yet know
of no way to make the exchange;
such people are easily tired and
fall into low and melancholy
moods: they are apt also to lose
weight. Weakness is commonly
the result of q diseased condi-
tion,-often without pain or any
acute symptoms. The appetite is
poor, the digestion feeble, the
blood pale and wanting in all
the elements Of true vitality.
The trouble is with the nerves
and the food system. The
remedy is a safe and powerful
tonic, cleanser and rebuilder like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
which never fails to make the
weak strong. It ia palatable as
honey and contains the nutri-
tive and curative properties of
Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted

bined with the Compound Syrup

composition. To it thousands

Is there anything in the evidence Of

Can reliance be placed upon state
