RYDALE'S TONIC
a REAL CURE FOR
MAIAR,TA

1t has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria. breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex-
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinine,
Iron. ETC., stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood. but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels. freeing
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. 1t also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. 1t drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes il rich and healthy.
RYDALE'S TONIC is blood
builder. nerve restorer. and Malaria
destroyer. Try it. it will not disap-
point you.
