Reports Show That Strength, Energy and Ambition Return Very Slowly to Grippe Patients. After an attack of inflt’onzp, doctors advise that nature be assisted in its building-up process by the use of a good tonic —one that will not only put strength and endurance into the body, hut will also help to build up and strengthen tlia run-down cells of the brain. One of the most highly recommended remedies to put energy into both body and brain is Bio-feren .—your physician knows the formula —it is printed below. There’s iron in Bio-fercn tho hind of iron that makes red Mood corpuscles and creates vigor. There is lecithin also; probably the best brain invigorator known tn science. Then there is good old reliable gentian, that brings back your lagging appetite. There are other ingredients that help to promote good health, as you can see by reading this formula, not forgetting holo, that great agent that puts the power of endurance into -weak people. Taken altogether Bio-feren is a splendid active tonic that will greatly help any weak, run-down person to regain normal strength, energy, -ambition and endurance. Bio-feren is sold by all reliable druggists and is inexpensive. For weakness after influenza patients are advised to take two tablets after each meal and one at bed time — seven a day, until health, strength and vigor are fully restored. It will not. fail to h%!p you and if for any reason you are dissatisfied with results your druggist is authorized to return your money upon request—without any red tape of any kind. Note 1o physicians: J"iorp is wo secret about the formula of Bioferen, it is prirtcii on every package. Here it is: Lecithin: Calcium Giyeero-phosphate; Iron Peptonate, Mansaaes? Pssplonate; Ext. Nvv. Vomica- Powdered Gentian: P.henolphthatein; Clears hi Capsicum, Kc-10. g.

THE FARMER’S OPPORTUNITY We would like to have you come in and let ua explain to you the plan of; borrowing money on farm lands I under the government plan.
