restores Energy and Vitality by creating new healthy
blood When you feel its strengthening, invgorating
effect see how it brings color to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you will then appreciate
its true tonic value.
GROVES TASTELESS Chill TONIC is not patent
medicine 1t is simply IRON and QUININE sus-
pended in Syrup. So pleasant even children like it.
The Ouinne and Iron does not dissolve in the syrup
and, therefore, does not make the syrup bitter You
do not taste the bitter Ouinine and you do not
taste the Iron because both are completely covered
with syrup when swallowed.
Your system needs Quinine to Purify the Blood and
Iron to Enrich it. These good old reliable tonic
properties never fail to drive out impurities in the
blood, and when you have rich, pure blood coursinl
through your veins, you feel like running jumping
and shouting. The Spring Fever soon disappears.
GROVES TASTELESS chill TONIC is acceptable
to the most delicate stomach and does not cause
nervousness or ringing in the head. Price 6Oc.
