DESPAIR Turks
IN WEAK BLOOD
GUIDES Pepto- -Mangan, the Blood
Builder, Arouses Dull
Faculties.

Many a man and many q woman
feels all out Of sorts from thin, weak
ened blood. The least little thing gone
wrong throws them into a wild form Of
dependency. Instead Of bracing up
and meeting ordinary difficulties, they
are dowhed. Nerves are on edge. Ap.
petite lags. Sleep is restless. They
are weak and tired and dull. Poor
blood works its havoc till the will loses
it's power. Few pdPple who fall into
habits of worry and despondency real
ize that most of their troubles are due
to lack of endurance-to blood that has
become weakened by overTork or
straining.
Healthy men and women with rich,
red blood see things brightly. They
tackle life with zest and 60 along smil-
ingly, full Of eagerness and endurance.
GUIDES Pepto- -Mangan taken stead

richness. It actually makes red cor

which make it red. Druggists have

the worn feet and trim out the ankles
in a curved line to form the ears.
Sew a seam along this line, turn right
side out and stuff with cotton to form
the body. Wind the remainder Of the
tops with small cord to form the tail
and tie a gay bow of ribbon at the
end. Two white bone buttons make
the eyes and heavy silk floss the
