WHY BE DULL

THIS SPRING?
sSpring Fever. Is Natural, But Not
Necessary-Ifs Due To
Sluggish Blood.
KEEP FEELING YOUR HAPPIEsT
Purify and Tone Up Your Blood With
That Famous Tonic. Pepto-
Mangan.

Do you seem unable to do any work,
to concentrate, to take any interest
in things, during the wonderful Spring
days? Do you feel useless and and
sno account?
Nothing is really the matter, except
that, as happens every Spring, your
blood is clogged-it is sluggish with
poisons from it's long Winter fight.
In time, your blood will probably
adjust itself. But meanwhile you fret
and worry, feel unhappy-and accom-
plish nothing. Why do it, when it is
easy to clear up your blood by taking
Pepto-Mangan for a while? For thir-
ty years, doctors have been recon-
mending this effective and agreeable
tonic to purify and build up the blood
of rundown, ~listless people.
Feel your best. Have a fine color,
and spring in your step. Be vigor-
Gus, happy, red-blooded. Get a bot
tie of Pepto-Mangan today. The
nearest druggist has it, and in either
liquid or tablet form, just as you pre-
fer. There's no difference in medic
inal value.
But be sure you get the genuine
GUIDES Pepto-Mangan. Ask for it by
name-"Gude's P~epto-Mangan," and
