and Build Up

You See men and women who are
never sick. They work hard, look
robust, eat heartily and enjoy life
They have plenty of rich, red blood
That is why they are never ill.
People who try to get along with
weak, impoverished blood always
have a struggle. They go from one
sickness to another. Children the
same way.
If you keep your blood rich and red
you'll enjoy full vigor. Disease has
little chance to develop in healthy
blood AS soon as you feel rundown
take Pepto-Mangan for awhile. 1t
will feed your blood with the ingre-
dents needed to create a good sup
ply of red corpuscles.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in both liq-
uid and tablet form. Take either
kind you prefer. They are alike in
medicinal value. But be sure you
get the genuine Pepto-Mangan--
