TRY TAKING PEPTO-MANGAN
Ii You Feel LiStleSS and Depressed,
Your Blood is CIOgged and
Sluggish

Without knowing why you find your
self feeling unhappy. You go around
day after day half asleep. Interest in
what is going on around you lags and
life becomes dull. The beauty of radiant
sunshine, lovely flowers and the en-
trancipg miracles of life you miss en-
tirely. Living, eating, sleeping, be-
come more or less of a bore.
That is what clogged, sluggish blood
does Il you. 1t p~oisons yourithoughts.
You are only half alive.
You need a good blood -enriching
ton C. Take Pepto-Mangan for a few
weeks and notice the big improvement.
Pepto- Mangan is an agreeable tonic
and is heartily endorsed by physicians.
Your druggist has Pepto-M angan in
both liquid and tablet form. Buywhlch-
ever you prefer; one has exactly the
same effect as the other. Make sure
YOU get genuine Pepto-Mangan. Ask
for "Gude's" aud look for the full
name, "Gude's Pepto-Mangan," on
the package. adv.
