Hill

Whether you earn your daily bread
by the sweat Of your brow, by the
daily use of your muscle, or by tasks
requiring less physical exertion, you
need every ounce Of strength that
you can command.
1t is of utmost Importance, there

top physical trim, and that you take
every precaution to safeguard your
health from the many pitfalls which
disease has spread so promiscuou-1y.
Keeping thoroughly well and strong
is simply matter of resisting dis
ease.
Why is it that your neighbor Is al
ways healthy and robust and strong,
while you find yourself succumbing
to even the most commonplace little
ailments that tend to drag down your
vitality? Tt is true thai you are both
liable to the same attacks, but why
does he escape while you do not?
The answer can be found in the
condition of the blood supply. IF you
keep your blood thoroughly purified
and free from all substances that
tend to impair its full strength and
vigor you, too, will be able to prompt
ly throw of all efforts Of disease to
