I knew I had no serious organic trouble so I reasoned sensibly.. .as my experience has since proven.. .that work, worry, colds and whatnot had just worn me down. The confidence mother has always had in S.S.S. Tonic., .which is still her stand-by when she feels run-down. ..convinced me I ought to • 1 try this Treatment... I started a course. The color began to come back ,1 to’iny skin...l felt better...! did not tire easily and soon I felt that those red-blood-cells were back to so-called fighting strength.. .it is j great to feel strong again and like my old self. Insist on S.S.S. Tonic in the blood-red Cellophane-wrapped package...the big 20-oz. size is sufficient for two weeks’ treatment. ..it’s more economical, too. & s.s.s. Co.
