DON'T INVITE
SICKNESS
Thin Blood Is a Standing Invita-
ton to Every Disease That
Is Prevalent.

: Thin, impure blood is an invitation
to sickness. The blood is at work, day
and night, to maintain the health and
any lack OF strength or purity in the
blood is a weakness in the defense
against disease. AnHmia is the doctor
name for lack of blood. There NAV be
an actual loss in the quantity OF the
blood or one or more OF its constituents
may be lacking. Its surest symptom is
pallor. An&mia is particularly COM
mon in young girls from 1t to IL years
of age. 1t is not confined to them for
it is this same lack of blood that pre-
vents full recovery afterthe grip, fevers,
malaria and operations and is present
in old age and in persons who have
been under an unusual physical or
mental strain.
