WHY GOOD BLOOD is RED

Why are we continually being told
that good blood must be bright red =?
What has color to do with the quail
ity?
Just this. The oxygen in the air is
the great supporter of animal life.
One business of the blood is to take
oxygen from the air (Which it meets
in the lungs and deliver 1t to the
tissues of the body. When the blood,
filled with DEMONSTRATING oxygen, is
sent out by the heart it is bright red.
When it returns. filed with impuri-
ties, and deprived of its oxygen, 1t
is dark.
From this it is clear that there are
two prime requisites of health, pure
air and bright red blood-the pure
air to furnish the oxygen, the rich
blood to carry it where it is needed.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills makes the
blood rich and red because they in
crease its power to carry oxygen, ac-
tualfy making 1t so much more able
to carry increased life and strength to
every organ of the body. Try these
tonic pills and note the increased col
or in cheeks and lips; see how your
nerves become steadier, your appe-
tite better, your digestion stronger,
your step quicker, your troubles light
