womanly weakness. My back ached.
I would have, at certain times, hot

Even my shoulders would hurt, and 1t
made me very dizzy and uncomfort-
able. When the blood would flow to
my head suppose that was what 1t
was-I would faint and feel so weak.
'T couldn't do my work. I had a
good position, and this was surely
annoying as well as embarrassing. l
would usually have to go home and

bought it for me. 1t was the first and
only medicine that ever did me any
good for this trouble"

Pepto Mangan Creates Rich, Red
Blood, Changes Pale Complex
ions To Bloom OF Health

A serious illness, even cold that
is hard to shake off, can reduce the
blood to weak, watery condition
which keeps the normal strength and
vigor from coming back.
This poor physical condition
brings on a helpless. discouraged
mental condition which rich, red
blood can restore.
Pure blood should be rich in iron
which Nature supplies to some ex-
tent in food. But often through
faulty digestion or improper diet
you don't get the needed iron and
your blood on which your heaftn de-
ponds, grows weaker and weaker.

blood, increases the red blood cells
and supplies the ingredients that
brings quick response in vigor, and

after the Mexican episode, he returned
again to the law; he was Governor of
Utah from 1873 TO 1881, and minister
to Turkey from 1881 to 1885, when as
n good diplomat he won the esteem OF
the late uniamented Abdul-Hamid and
could really put through business with
that scientifically dilatOry tyrant.
He IL known by his three books,
''The Fair God 0S73), "Ben-Hur"
USSOD, and ''The Prince of India"
uSS3). The first is q very clever re-
construction of the story of the con-
quest of Mexico by the Spaniards. The
reader feels great sympathy with the
highly developed natives who fell help
less before the superior arms of the
invaders. The story, however, is by
means to be put in the same class
with "Ben-Hur." The skill, the knOwl-
edge. the reverence with which the
story Of Christ is told largely through
the lives of others) have made ''Ben-
Hur" one of the books to take a secure
hold on the public, both book and
on the stage, where the famous chariot
race has won classic place.
