There is usually a definite reason for such complaints ... so
now let’s reason sensibly.
Don’t try to get well in a day.. .this is asking too much of
Nature. Remember she has certain natural processes that
j uet cannot be hurried.
But there is a certain scientific way you can assist by start-
ing those digestive juices in the stomach to flowing more
freely and at the same time supply a balanced mineral
deficiency the body needs.
Therefore if you are pale tired lack a keen appetite have
lost weight and feel rundown.. .a frequent sign that your
blood-cells are weak with a tendency towards anemia—then
do try in the simple easy way so many millions approve—
by starting a course of S.S.S. Blood Tonic.
Much more could be said—a trial will thoroughly convince
you that this way in the absence of any organic trouble will
start you on the road to feeling like yourself again. © s.s.s. Co.
