system for the Tonetic Tablets. The Tone
tic Tablets make the blood rich and pure,
and thus drive away anaemia, pale and sal

They strengthen and nourish the nerves,
and upon the nerves depend the vgor Of all
the vital organs. They give an appetite for
food, and good digestion, SO that the food
nourishes. They make new blood, new
tissue, new force Thus the whole body is
built up, renewed. The weight goes up, the
glow OF health returns, the vital organs be-
come vigorous, the brain becomes clear.
