IN THE SPRING
YOUR BLOOD
NEEDS A TONIC
Winter Weakens Blood, Makes Faces
PaIe-Take Guides Pepto-
ManQan
THE BEST KNOWN BLOOD TONIC
Drowsy spring-Fsver Feeling That
Comes from Sluggish Blood
viii Soon Leave You

As all growing things on earth
shoot into new life in Springtime, so
do the billions of cells that make up
each part of the body renew their
vigor.
As you open the windows, breathe
the Spring air, and let in the sun
shine, the red corpuscles in your
blood should carry more oxygen to
the tiny cells.
The red corpuscles are tiny disc
shaped particles, swimming in enor-
nous numbers in the blood. They
carry oxygen to cells in all parts of
the body, and they carry away
worn-out waste matter. Sometimes,
especially in the Spring, after the
winter indoors and more or less of
sickness, the red corpuscles them
selves need rebuilding. Guides pep
to-Mangan contains just the ingre-
dents to give them greater power to
absorb oxygen and to distribute it
throughout the body.
That is why it is such a good
Spring tonic. 1t helps so much to
bring back color to cheeks made pale
and wan by the necessary indoor
winter life. It adds to the number
of red corpuscles. With fine Spring
days and Guides Pepto- Mangan you
gain in vigor and attain good health.
Don't go around drowsy this
Spring. Take that good tonic, Guides
Pepto- Mangan. You can get it in
tablet form or in liquid form at your
druggists. Both forms have the
same medicinal value. Insist upon
genuine Guides Pepto- Mangan.-

were crooked and disfigured the

up as a cruel master.
