Why You Feel
So weak and exhausted is because your
blood is impure. As well expect the
sanitary condition of a city to be por-
{rift with dcflled water and defective
Scll'oritgc, as to expect such a compli-
rnioul piece of mechanism as the human
frame to be in good order with impure
blood circulating even to its minutcst
veins. Do you know that every drop
of your two or three gallons of blood
passes through the heart and lungs in
about two and a half minutes, and that,
on its way, it makes bone and muscle.
brain and nerve. and all other solids
and fluids of the body? The blood is
the great nourisher, or, as the Bible
terms it,
“The Life of the Body."
Is it any wonder, then. that ii the blood
be not pure and perfect in its consti-
tuents, you suffer so many indescribable
symptoms‘?
