ANAfMIA OR
POOR BLOOD
Don't Wait Too Long to Correct
it--AS it Often Leads to
Something Worse.

Anaemia is defective state of
the blood in which there is a lack
either in quantity or quality of the
little red corpuscles.
1t may result from any cause
that serve to deplete the general
system and is recognized by pale
and haggard face-colorless lips,
poor circulation and short breath,
and the system is at such a low
ebb that more serious diseases are
easily contracted.
Anaemic people should eat
plenty of fruit, eggs, milk, meat,
vegetables, good butter and cream
and whole wheat bread, and as for
a medicine nothing excels our de-
licious cod liver preparation, Vinol,
which is made by a scientific, ex-
tractive and concentrating process
from fresh Gods livers, combining
with peptonate-of-iron, which is
needful constituent for the blood.
