place of roots, herbs, barks and berries in the
composition of medicines.
Ninety percent of the drugs used by the med
ical profession are composed of these same roots
banks, herbs and flowers that have been in use
for centuries. Science has been adding to the
list continuously.
Indu helps to instill energy.
.Indu helps to give the weak strength.
Indu helps nature to make pure, rich blood.
Indu brings the glow vitality to your face
What Induhas done for others it will DO for
YOU! Will you take the word Of these people,
all of whom have used "Indu" with the most
satisfactory results? Some were urderwelght;
others suffered low vitality still others suffered
catarrh, stomach trouble, liver complaint, ner-
