DON'T let a weakened body

it may result in so-called prema-
ture old age. Todays happiness
and friends may be gone tomor-

clear to you that a strong,
healthy body depends upon the
right number of rich. red-blood-
cells?
Thousands of people have a
low blood count--to this may be
attributed skin troubles, "run-
down" systems and even more
serious ailments.
Healthy blood should contain
about 100000 red corpuscles to
every cubic millimeter-those
tiny workers which give blood
its color and are carriers of
nourishment to every part of
the body. Rich, red blood is

When you get your red-blood-
cells back up to normal, that
sluggish, let-down feeling, lack
of appetite, skin troubles dis
appear. You should get hungry
again and sleep soundly; firm
flesh should take the place of
that which was once f1abby. You
should feel strong. Your nerves
become steady.
S.S.S. helps Nature build rich,
red blood. It improves the
processes by which the body is
nourished.
For more than 100 years S.S.S.
has been helping people regain
and retain their strength and
charm. Thousand of users have
testified to its benefits in un-
solicited letters of gratitude.
