THE DOOR SLANS ON HAPPINESS Poor Blood Makes Bad Health- Then Come the “Blues.” Once the vigor of red blood becomes sapped of its strength, the door to hap- piness is llterally slammed. Weari- ness of body follows and it unfallingly engenders depressed thoughts. To be reserved and cheerless becomes n habit. After a time there is an almost filmy dimness in the expression of the eyes and a pallor to the skin, Days seem dull and dark and difficult. A sense of insufferable gloom pervades the spirit, Then it is that Gude's Pepto-Mangan is the great help. It is a red blood bullder, It puts red into the blood-— Increases the number of corpuscles which make blood rich and red. When tne blood is restored to its natural tealthy state, the sensation of well- being returns, Instead of shuffling along carelessly, there is the firm and springy step, the bright lusterful eyes, the clear complexion, identified with the strength and vigor of good health, The druggist has Gude's Pepto-Man- gan in both liquid and tablet form.
