YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU ARE STILL WEAK, NERVOUS AND RUN-DOWN

Medical Science Makes Amazing Discovery Of What You Actually Need To Build Health And Strength And Even Keep Yourself Alive.

That lack of. those recently-, discovered substances in our' foods, the vitamines, is responsible in great measure for the fact that there is "somebody sick" in most families most of the time, is the opinion of many experts. Former Health Commissioner John J. Rudolph, M.D., late of the New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital and Columbus Hospital of New York, and a Graduate of the University of Baltimore says: "It is certainly not surprising that the diets we physicians have recommended and the tonics we prescribed have failed to come up to our expectations, since they one and all, lack a sufficient proportion of vitamines, which we now know to be as essential to lite ,as air itself. When a person fails to get enough vitamines there is a continuous starvation process going on all through the system. As a result you become generally weakened and run-down and frequently develop all sorts of conditions without ever even suspecting the real cause of your trouble. You may be tired, nervous, depressed, worried, unable to digest your food or to sleep well at night your skin may be mottled and your com--ple.xion sallow, pallid or lifeless. No matter what the symptoms may be, however, there is a lack of strength, energy and vitality which must be overcome before you can enjoy perfect health. "Nature supplies vitamines in various raw foods, but to attempt to eat enough of these raw foods to get the full amount of vitamines which the system requires for health and strength, is almost a physical impossibility. Therefore, vitamines are now prepared in a concentrated, easily assimilated tablet form called Yitamon, and numerous tests by men, women and children have plainly proved its extraordinary merit. From my own personal use of Yitamon three times a day with meals, and from carefully watching the patients to whom 1 have given it, I am convinced that there is no other tonic or preparation whatsoever to which it can be compared. Not until you have taken Vitamon yourself and felt its upbuilding effects can you form any idea of the vast difference it may make in your health, strength, mental vigor and physical appearance." . NOTE: The subject of vitamin cucd above by Dr. Rudolph has taken great strides since the eminent scientist Dr. Casiimr Funk of T-ondon named the substance in 1911. Osborne and Mendel f Vale Medical and E. J. McCollura of JohaaHopkins Cniversitv perhaps have done mast in this country. The London "Lancet" oa of the leading and most authoritative medical journals in the world devote considerable space in nearly every issue to a discussion of vitamines and their influence upon th reneral health. The concentrated tablet form known as Vitamon affords a simple, easy method for getting vitamines into the system and quickly building; up the strength, energy and power, and may be taken with benefit by either men or women, youns: or old. An agreement has been reached whereby Vita non is supplied at a price low enousrh to' be within the reach of all and completely satisfactory results are guaranteed or money will be promptly refunded.
