If you are strong. and well your sys- tenn has q. reserve supply of fighting energy to draw on whenever you are exposed to colds or other disease germs, and this energy enables you to throw off and. overcome. the disease.
 But if you find that you are tired, weak or run down in health this re- serve supply has been exhausted and unless you can replace it at once you are in danger. Because it supplies the food substances which produce strength and enable you to withstand fatigue and hardship, Father Johns s Medicine is the commonsense tonic energy builder for you to take right now. It is guaranteed free from al- cohol or dangerous drugs. It is. not a stimu1ant but a noprishing, f1esh- builde&'$y means of which the system stores up energy to be drawn on whenever it is needed. '.
