YOUR BLOOD NEEDS
STRENGTHENING

Really, isn't it foolish to be
Handicapped for weeks in the
Spring, just because your blood
is sluggish?
The glorious Spring days! You
ought to enjoy them, instead of
feeling unhappy and half asleep
just too tired out for any
thing. You ought to be finding
new vigor for your work in the
Spring air-."'pep," enthusiasm,
happiness!
But you can't, because your
blood is clogged with poisons.
For long months it has had too
little fresh, air and has fought
off many germs. And it now has
Matchmaking properties that are
not needed in warm weather.
Don't work under a handicap,
when it isn't necessary at all.
Clear up your sluggish blood.
Give it help. Get some of that
famous, blood purifier and tonic,
o-Mangan.
Pepto-Mangan is used by ply
sicians everywhere. You can
buy it at any drug store in eth
er liquid or tablet form, just as
you prefer. There's no differ
ence in medicinal value.
Make certain that you get the
genuine Pepto- Mangan. Ask for
Guides Pepto-M angan," and see
that the name Guides is on
