SERBO MANAGER

able Medicine.

"I wish every rundown man and woman
would realize that they can not resist
disease unless they build up their strength,
said the Serbo man at the Miller Drug
Store on Market ST., where he is person
ally explaining Serbo. Great waves of
dangerous illnesses periodically sweep
the country, and people in weakened
condition are easy victims for these dis
ease germs. They haven't the strength
to fight them.
Lots of people say they have never
been the same since they had the fiu,
which is not surprising. Any serious ill
ness saves the patient in weakened
condition, and he or she must be very
careful for year or two following
How can they feel strong and healthy
if their system is clogged with a lot of
impurities that their overworked or
weakened organs can't get rid of. Every
little thing seems to sap their strength,
and get on their nerves. People whose
systems have been weakened by influenza
or other diseases of similar nature are
usually very irritable. They are easily
discouraged and become melancholy over
small matters. They are tortured with
backaches, headaches, poor memory,
unsound sleep that does not really rest
them, and poor appetite.
Serbo Greatly Needed.
These people need an honest to good
ness system tonic TO build them up, like
Serbo Serbo is intended to aid nature to
restore health to the human system 1t
strengthens and cleanses the system, en-
riches the blood, and tones up the stom-
ach, liver and kidneys. 1t is just what
rundown, tagged out men and women
need.
