Antiphlogistine

(Inflammation's Antidote)

affords the most scientific method of combating Inflammation and Congestion. It is of especial benefit in the conditions incident to the snmmer season.

In ENTERO-COLITIS, and other Inflammations of the abdominal and pelvic viscera, Antiphlogistine proves a satisfactory adjuvant to treatment, as it produces a depletion of the enteric and peritoneal vessels, stimulates the reflexes and muscular rigidity.

In SPRAINS and WRENCHES, the stretching or tearing of the ligaments, contusion of the synovial membrane and damage to vessels and nerves are best controlled by Antiphlogistine, which distinctly aids in the reconstruction of the part. The absorption of the liquid exudate from the swollen tissues and the free circulation of blood in the seat of the injury greatly hastens the process of repair.

INFANTILE ANEMIA.

ANY of the ills of Infancy are due to an anemic

condition imparted by the mother during the con

cluding months of pregnancy.
Preclude this possibility by increasing the hemoglobin and

the red corpuscles in the mother blood, and the infant
will be less likely to contract diseases incident to the

nursing period.
Popto-Mangan (Gude) increases the hemoglobin

and the corpuscular element of the blood of the pregnant
woman; renders the vital fluid sufficiently rich to yield
ample nourishment to the mother and her unborn, and
substantially improves the fetal circulation. This is a

demonstrable fact-the microscope proves it.
The palate.pleasing properties of this combination of

organic iron and manganese especially fit it for the
anemic or debilitated pregnant woman-inorganic ferru-
ginous products not only constipate but aggravate the

normally existent nausea.
The administration of Pepto-Mangan (Gude) dur-

ing the months of pregnancy safe-guards the health of

the mother and imparts stamina to the off-spring.
Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is ready for quick absorp-

tion and rapid infusion into the blood.
Order Pepto-Mangan (Gude) in original bottles

and avoid substitution.
