MARC TO VICTORY
Courage is a matter of the blood.
Without good red blood a manhas a
weak heart and - poor nerves.
In the spring is the best time to
take stock of one's condition. ` If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and
listless, one should take a spring tonic.
One that will do the spring house-
cleaning, an old-fashioned herbal rem-
edy that was used by everybody nearly
50 years ago is still safe and sane
because it contains no alcohol or nar-
cotic. It is made up of Blood root,
Golden Seal root, Oregon Grape root,
Queen's root, Stone root,
Black Cherryr

bark -extracted with glycerine and
made into liquid or tablets. Ties
