An Old Idea.
Every day strengthens the belief of emi
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-five years ago this theory was used
os a basis for the formula of Browns’ Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by this famous old household remedy arc
sufficient to prove that the theory is eorrect.
Browns’ Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.
