RED FLOODED
MEN WIN OUT
They Are Always on Top

| 1t is a fact that red blooded men
and women are at the top in every
| walk of life Men and women with
the driving force OF red blood, rich
in iron and phosphates do things, they
get results.
Red biooded women are the heads
of the happiest and most contented
homes, they have the will and the de-
sire to be real companions and help
mates.
Leadership and happiness is only
for the men and women who are will
ing to keep their blood and nerves
strengthened and nourished with Iron
and Phoephates.
A prominent doctor says, cit is a
crime that SO many men and women
lack the rich, red blood and strong
steady nerve to achieve their ambi-
tons. 1t Is all the more so because
thin, watery blood Is unnecessary. as
rich, red blood and strong nerves are
within the grasp Of everyone. Phos-
plated Iron makes pure blood by max
ing new blood. 1t gives strength,
brings color to the cheeks, increases
the weight and appetite, drives away
the blues and those sleepless nights,
steadies and renews your nervous en-
ergy, makes you feel like live one
once again"
There must be something to it. Ev-
eryone who tries it is loud in praise of
Phosphated Iron, and you have got to
show people these days.
To insure physicians and their pa
tients receiving the genuine Phos-
phated Iron it has been put up in cap
sules only. Do not allow dealers to
give you pills or tablets. Insist on
capsules.-McGrath Bros. Drug Co,
