Increases the Supply of Rich
Red Blood---Restores the
Strength and Vigor
Physicians Recommend
Sold in Liquid and Tablet
Form--the Name Guides"
the Guide to Genuine
Peto-Mangan

A serious illness such as in
fuenza or other infectious dis
ease always leaves the body with
low vitality, lack of strength,
and impoverished blood.
GUIDES Pepto-Mangan aids
convalescents to a quick recov-
cry, for it creates a generous
supply of rich, red blood and
restores the body to it's nor
NAL, healthy condition.
That's why physicians rec
ommend Pepto-M angan, for they
know that it imparts to the
blood the material so sorely
needed by weak, rundown sys-
TENS.
Pale, sallow, thin, easily-ex-
hausted men and women find
that Pepto-Mangan builds them
up wonderfully. A new supply
of rich, red blood is created,
which in turn imparts the glow
of health to the cheeks, in
creases the appetite, the eyes
sparkle, the entire system takes
a new lease on life.
Pepto-Mangan is obtainable
in liquid or tablet form, which
ever proves most convenient.
Both forms possess identical
medicinal qualities.
There is but one genuine Pep
to-Mangan and that is Guides"
Ask your druggist for Guides
and look for the name Guides"
on the package. If it is not
there, it is not Pepto-M angan.
