SIT DOWN
A MINUETE
and THINK
Sieze Up Your Condition. Look at
the Facts Squarely
1T PAYS TO HAVE GOOD HEALTE
Most Illnesses Are Prevented by
Good Supply of Rich, Red Blood
Take Pepto-Mangan, the
Red Blood Builder

Either you are in good health or
you are not. There's no half way.
You may think nothing of being
little run down. 1t may not worry
you if you look pale. You may think
you'll be all right tomorrow or next
day. But will you?
Certain it is when you do not feel
just right, you are not right. There
is probably something the matter
with your blood. And while you can
get around and do your work you are
leaving yourself open to any of the
diseases that are always waiting to
take possession Of run down people.
When you are pale and easily tired
when you cannot enjoy your meals,
when you lose enthusiasm, your blood
needs attention.
Take Pepto-Mangan for awhile 1t
is a great tonicIt will build UP your
resistance to disease, and you will
soon feel stronger. The little red cor
puscles are fighters. They battle
with disease germs and win out when
there are enough Of them. Keep
your system well supplied Then you
viii keep well and you will enjoy life.
But be certain you get the genuine
Pepto- Mangan. Ask for it by the full
name-"Gude's Pepto Mangan."
Some people take in tablet form. 1t
is so convenient. The liquid and the
tablets have the same medicinal value

There are forty states in the Union

by centralized construction, usually

Chronic Constipation

There are people who never
have a movement of the bowels
without it is produced by a cat
hartic. Most of them have
brought that condition on them
selves by the use of mineral wat
ers and strong cathartics that
take too much water out Of the
system and aggravate the dis
ease they are meant to relieve.
A mild laxative tonic like Cham
berlain's Tablets affords a gem

duced by medicine, and their
