If he's all "PLAYED OUT"
when PLAYTIME comes
AsTHENIA* 4:

TIE used to be the one who always
wanted to "go places and do things"
kept urging you to hurry through
dinner so you could be off together to the
movies, show or dance.
With what zestful anticipation you used
to look forward to your delightful eve
nings together to those enchanting
hours of recreation that brought the long
day 8 separation to an end.
But how he has changedl Now-how
you dread the tedium of drab evenings!
Strange as it may seem, you yourself
have been partially at fault without
realizing it.
You've let him grow old feeling, no
doubt, that you were powerless to pre-
vent it.
But you're not! You can restore his
former vigor. his eager vitality. &. . his
spirit. his enthusiasm. his pep! Do it
naturally, too -. in 10 days time. and
with no more than minute day of his
cooperation.
Would it surprise you to know that he
-. like thousands of other busy men ...
is a victim of Asthenia?* That his present
apathy is caused by faulty elimination?
'But how is that possible?" you ask.
Hes as regular as can be!'
Unfortunately, it is easily possible if
his daily elimination is not complete.
Poisons accumulate sraduaLy-bred by
millions of heterogeneous in the diges-
tive tract. Little by little these poisons
seep into the blood stream. Then comes
that half. aiUe feeling the condition
known to science as Asthenia.*
That's what robbing him of his former
zest and depriving you of those cherished
joys and pleasures.
Would you like to know how to restore
his former vigor make him eager once
more to participate in the pleasures which
used to mean so much to both of you?
Get him to take Pluto Water before
breakfast every morning for ten morn
ings. Don't let him miss morning for
ten days straight You'll be amazed how
this gentle, simple treatment will restore
his old-time vim. He'll begin to feel as
if he were walking on air.
After that-have him take Pluto Water
every Sunday morning regularly and he'll
be rid of this insidious blight
incidentally, you might try the treat.
ment yourself. You'll find it Just what
you need to tone up your system.
Pluto Water comes in two sizes POO
