WOULD HELP HER
A Wonderful Tonic That Brings
Back Vigor and Happiness
To Rundown People

Too often the old folks take a
weakened and run down condition as
a matter of course, when they should
be feeling as vigorous and happy as
ever.
One secret of staying young in
body and spirit is to keep the blood
red and rich Good blood drives
away listlessness and depression
keeps mind and body active and
alert
Doctors recognize that worry, a
recent illness, impaired digestion or
any of dozen different things may
prevent the food we eat from becom-
ing nourishing, strengthening
bolod. For this condition they re-
commend the taking Of good tonic
for a time.
Pepto-Mangan, 'the red-blood
builder" is heartily and widely en-
dorsed by physicians because of its
wonderful ability to strengthen and
enrich the blood of anemic people
to bring back vitality, health and
happiness.
Pepto-Mangan may be had at any
drug store, and in either liquid or
tablet form, just as you prefer.
There's no difference in their effec-
tiveness. But be sure you get the
genuine Pepto- -Mangan. Ask for it
by name, "Gude's," and be sure that
name is on the package.-Adver-
tisement.

that he watched the new method used

its experimental use on animals to
Professor kravkoff and it's applica-

fessor Fedovoff, formerly surgeon to
the emperor.
DR.. Marcou says the patient awakes
from the sleep produced by it little

Kim is described by the manufactur-

Kim is manufactured in powdered
form and is said to lose none of the
food properties of whole milk during
the process of its making. Practic-
ability and economy are claimed for
the new product, as after cold water
in the correct proportion is added to
the powder the whole milk is obtained.
