pure blood you can face any hardship
reach any goal. But you are handicapped
in the race of life without It, EVERY
tissue, bone, muscle, should take from
the blood certain materials and return 10
it certain others. This process insures
perfect health. When the poisons accu-
mulate in the blood. perhaps the race
breaks out in pimples. or boils appear on
the neck, and we feel languid. tired, our
vitality is at low ebb, and we easily
catch cold.
It's time to take an Alternative extract

inc and made into sugar-coated tablets OF
