1T ISN'T FAIR
THAT'S ALL!
To Your FamiIy-TO Your Friends
To YOurself-GOing Around
Half Sick
TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH
If Your Blood Is Weak and CIOgged
with POisOns, PeptO-Mangan Will
Strengthen and Purify 1t.

When you get over-tired day after
day, your system has to get rid of so
much waste it can't create new ener-
gy fast enough. The result is that your
blood is filled with waste matter. It
becomes clogged. You are trying to
get around with a lot of poison in
your system.
You look bad, you feel poorly. You
get out of patience easily. Ambition is
lost. You just don't care about any
thing.
That is no way to live. Your blood
needs help for time. 1t is starved.
You will find help in that fine tonic,
epto-Mangan. Pepto-Mangan purifies
the blood and fills it with red corpus
cles. In a little while you'll have plen-
ty of rich, red blood and you won't
know yourself. 1t isn't a magic medi-
cine. 1t contains iron and other in
gradients that feed starved blood and
make it rich and red. Physicians have
prescribed -Mangan for years.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in liquid and
tablet form. Take either kind you pre-
fer. One acts the same as the other.
Both contains the same ingredients.
But be sure to get the genuine Pepto-
Mangan-"Gude's." The full name,
Guides Pepto-M -Mangan," should be on
the package. Advertisement.
