! FRESHAiR AND HEALTH
Mental work calls an unusual suppl>
of blood to the brain; the process of
digestion calls the blood to the stom
ach. Brain work Immediately after a
hearty meal often causes Indigestion
because the brain has first call on a
supply of blood that should be helping
I the stomach.
Wherever, in the economy of the
body, work is to be done there is a de
mand for bright, red blood. Thin
blood or bloocf dark with Impurities
will not do because It is the oxygen
carried by the blood that does the
work and oxygon-bearing blood Is
bright and red. This life-sustaining
oxygen is taken up by the blood from
the air which it meets in the lungs.
Hence the great need of fresh air
every hour of the day and night. But
fresh air is useless if the blood cannot
take up the oxygen which it gives.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enable the
blood to take up more oxygen because
they Increase the part of the blood
that carries the oxygen. This corrects
the lassitude, palpitation of the heart,
shaky nerves and the pallor that are
the results of thin, impure blood.
"You must have pure, rich blood to
enjoy complete health. A booklet,
"Building Up the Blood," will be sent
