Overwrought CNerves YOU never heard of a red-blood-ed person—man or woman—becoming a nervous wreck! And you never will. You never saw anybody with healthy, rich, red blood, get wearied by the activities of daily life. Did you? No! It’s weak blood—lack of healthy, rich, red blood. That’s the whole trouble with those whose nerves are overwrought. They lack the resisting powers—the stamina that healthy, red-blood-cells give that enable us to stand up under the strain of daily life. S. S. S. is the salvation of these unhappy people. It is just the thing needed to strengthen the nerves, restore muscular power to the body, and increase the endurance of weak, failing, run-down women and men. Don’t keep on going down simply because your blood is starving for want of healthy, red-blood-cells. You can get back your nerve power with S. S. S. You can do it just as surely as thousands have done for the past century. /\ S. S. S. also clears [ J the skin of pimples, / boils, eczema—hollow \ / cheeks fill out and firm flesh takes the place of flabby muscles. Why, you’ll begin living all over again. Get S. S. S. today from any good druggist. And get the larger Dot* tie. It’s more economical.
