Can you not see, therefore, the vital importance ot keeping your blood absolutely pure? In fact, there are scores of ailments attributed to other causes that would never exist if the blood were kept entirely free of impurities. And do not underestimate the damage to your health that any irregularity may occasion, no mat-; ter how seemingly slight. You cannot afford to labor under any handicap, or neglect to correct any condition that tends to lessen your efficiency. Keeping well and in perfect physical condition is largely a matter of being able to resist disease. Every day you are subject to attack by disease germs. Everyone else is similarly exposed, and those who succumb are those whose systems are not in condition to resist the disease germs which are ever present. The slightest impurity in your blood will weaken your system and lessen your ability to resist disease. To be reasonably sure of perfect health, therefore, your blood should be kept free from any trace of

At 12 noon, Monday, March 26, a stock Chalmers seven-passenger touring car with first and second gears removed, was started north on Michigan Boulevard through Chicago traffic. At noon Tuesday, March 27, the Chalmers was stopped at the starting point. It had gone 586.8 miles through Chicago's densest traffic. The motor had never been stopped. Nothing but high gear was used. To prove conclusively Chalmers flexibility on high gear, the low and intermediate gears were removed from the transmission. The car was a standard Chalmers seven -passenger touring model, complete with standard body, top and full equipment. The same model you can buy today.

On June 7, 1916, a Chalmers stock car shattered ail existing road records between Chicago and New York, making the run of 1047 miles in 31 hours. The best previous time vas made by a Packard driven by E. C. Patterson, whose time was 35 hours 43 minutes.

Typical Chalmers Performance

THIS IS TO CERTIFY that the Chalmer seven-passenger car above mentioned was a fully equipped stock car. It was driven for 24 hours through Chicago traffic. Only high gear was used. The motor was never stopped during the run. The mil?age obtained was 586.8 miles. The gasoline consumption was an average of slightly over 14 miles per gallon.

August 11, 1916, a Chalmers carried off first honors m the 230 cubic inch class on the terrific grades of Pike's Peak in Colorado. Its time was within a few seconds of much higherpowered, and specially built machines. Detroit to Indianapolis On June 12, 19 16, the Chalmers set a new record over the roads between Detroit and Indianapolis, 305 miles, making the trip in eight hours, 23 minutes.

An average of slightly over 14 miles per gallon of gasoline was attained, an excellent example of Chalmers economy. 586.8 miles, through the famous congested Chicago ' loop" district, is a wonderful feat. This performance on high gear is even more wonderful. It is without an equal. It is an endorsement of the motor. It proves Chalmers reliability. It demonstrates Chalmers cooling. It shows Chalmers flexibility and perfect control. It is a new achievement.

Atlanta to Chattanooga June 24, 1916, a Chalmers lowered all records between Atlanta and Chattanooga. The distance of 125 miles was covered in 3 hours, 53 minutes. This is faster than the time of the Dixie Flyer, the fastest railroad train of the south. Dallas to San Antonio . Another famous train the Katy Limited was beaten by a Chalmers between Dallas and San Antonio. The Chalmers made the run in 9 hours and 22 minutes, 1 hour and 33 minutes faster than train time.
