Your Nerves Demand 1t, Your Blood
Needs II, Say Physicians

There's not enough PHOSPHORUS in
modern foods to benefit nearly one
half of the men and women of Amer
lea, scientists declare.
To overcome this lack of an ele-
D.ent of your body that is necessary
to your health, your happiness and
even your success in life, weak, anea-
mic people are advised to take Bitro-
Phosphate as dispensed in leading
drug stores in the original package.
Speaking of people who are easily
fatigued, who lack ambition, nerve
and are ofttimes thin, weak, and sadly
lacking in firm, healthy flesh, Joseph
D Harrigan, formerly Visiting Spe-
galist, North Eastern Dispensary, N.
Y. says:
Patients who were apparently
physical wrecks who foolishly thought
they needed only blood tonic to en-
rich the blood, have come for treat
ment trembling and shaking, their
nerve force almost exhausted and in
many such cases the administering Of
Bitro-Phosphate has produced SEEM
ingly magical results.
People who feel the heat of sum-
5ner, tire easily and often become ir-
ritable and depressed. will find Bitro-
Phosphate an inexpensive and helpful
friend.
Druggists report a wonderful in
crease in the demand from men and
women who are anxious to renew old
time ambition and who are making an
honest effort to become vigorous and
keen-minded with a power of endur-
anee that denotes almost perfect
health.
They ask for Bitro-Phosphate be.
cause they know they need an mex
pensive organic phosphate.
