Pepto-Mangan

Spring Days are Treacherous.

With Cold Weather
AND BLOOD is
SLUGGISH AND WEAK
Don't Take Chances If You Feel
Bad-Enrich Your Blood
With PeptO-Mangan

There is a great deal of serious
sickness in the Spring.
And it is easy to see why. Long
weeks pent up indoors, too little ex-
ercise and fresh air, winter sickness
not entirely over with, generally
lowered vitality. Blood weak and
sluggish. Then come fine Spring
days-that are not as warm as they
seem; or sudden changes in the wealth
er and you haven't taken proper pre-
cautions.
Vigorous, red-blOoded people don't
often get sick. If you're not feeling
your best, get Pepto-Mangan of your
druggist and take it to build up your
blood. This effective and agreeable
tonic has been tested for over thirty
years, and physicians, everywhere,
recommend it for rundown, pale and
anemic people.
The whole family should take Pep
to-Mangan-it is a good health in
surance. Besides, what JOY 1t is t.
feel fit and fine-ready for anything
To have an abundance Of energy and
enthusiasm!
Pepto-Mangan is for sale at your
druggists and in both liquid and tab
let form. There is no difference in
medicinal value. Take whichever you
prefer. But to make sure you get
the genuine, ask for Guides Pepto-
Mangan,' and see that the name
"Gude's" is on the package.-adv.
