PIT TN-Y OF TO- D But
STARVING TO death
Thousands Of People Get
No NOuriShment From
The Food They Eat

Thousands Of people who are pale,
thin, weak and run down are literally
starving TO death because their system
in its weakened condition is unable to
take up the nourishment which the
food they eat contains To such people
Father Johns Medicine is OF great
value because it has vast food value
and the pure, Wholesome nourishment
which il contains is easily taken up by
the weakened system and turned into
tissue, muscle and flesh. Because OF
the fact that Father Johns Medicine is
guaranteed free from alcohol or dan
gerous drugs in any form whatever it
is the safe tonic and body builder for
younger children as we'll as older peo-
pie. Begin taking it today If you want
to gain flesh Don't wait-get a bottle
now and start building new health and
strength.
