FEEBLE BLOOD
WORKS HAVOC
Guides Pepto- Mangan Makes Red
Blood; Liquid and Tablet Form.

When blood becomes thin and veal,
it is due to a falling off in the number
Of red blood cells. 1t is easily recoo-
nzed by pallid skin or blemishcd
complexion, loss of appetite or un-
natural irritability and a sensation Of
weakness. 1t is not dangerous at first
In fact, many people scarcely noti4,
il and go on for days, thinking thev
will be better the next day.
The great danger is in the posi-
bility of becoming seriously i'll from
disease, which can work havoc in a
lcdy that lacks the endurance ana
resistance in rich, red blood.
Taken in time and steadily, few
bottles of GUIDES Pepto-Mangan are a
great help. 1t improves the quality
Of the blood by adding red blood cells.
They check the weakness, improve
the appetite, and clear the complex
ion.
You can get GUIDES Pepto-Mangan
in liquid and tablet form at your
druggists. Get the genuine with the
name "Gude's Pepto-Mangan" on the
Observation-Disclosures.

with the submerged object.
The boats engine went dead after
the collision. and Owen went to the
stern of his hoat to see what the
trouble was. He found the fast re-
yolving propeller of the boat had
killed shark There was blood all

Interesting Session To Be Held In
Seventh Baptist Church, Balti-
more, Nov. $40.

How great was the inspiration you

consider it worth your while? If an
opportunity was afforded for such a
# at, would YOU take advantage of it =?
1t can be done, and within a week.
At the Annual Convention of the
Maryland Sunday School Association,
ct the Seventh Baptist Church, Balti-
more, next week Tuesday, Wednesday
end Thursday, November Sth, 9th and

which we have challenged New York,
which is expecting 1900 at her State
Convention this year. Worcester

20 delegates, and Mr.. Shockley and
his cabinet are working hard to Sc
cure that number by Sunday.
There will be no enrolment fee; en-
ttrtainment, including lodging and
breakfast, will be given to all dele
gates during the days of the Convcn-
ton is in session. Some of the great
leaders of Sunday School work will
be on the program, including DR.. W.
G. Pearce, probably the greatest Sun
day School speaker in America; DR..
W. S. Bovard, of Chicago; Col. Cud-
lipp, and DR.. Hubert, of Baltimore.
Why not resolve right now to man
fest next week in Sunday School
V ork the same feverish activity and
dominating interest that we have
shown the last month in county poll
tics? Honestly, now, is there any
thing so important that will keep US
from going? 1t will be wc1,h it.
Well all be the better for it. Ask
YOUR pastor all about it.
