RED BLOOD AND BIG MUSCLE Th full-blooded man or woman tisually has large muscles. Pale peo ple are ordinarily thin; their muscles are small. t Muscles r re red not only because of, the blood in them but because they contain hemoglobin, the same substance that gives the red color to the blood. And it ia thia hemoglobin that carries oxygen in the blood and stores it up in the muscles. , Well oxidized blood is necessary if we would have strong muscles. In fact oxygen ia the preat supporter of life. Oxygen ia used up when we work. When a eet of muscles are active, as those of the back when we lift some thing, their oxygen is used and unless the blood is rich and red with oxygen bearing hemoglobin thosemueclesache. If you are pale and your back achea don't blame your kidneys. Try build ing up the blood with Dr. "Williams Fink Fills. These pills cause on in crease of hemoglobin in the blood and bo enable it to carry more oxygen. There is renewed life and ambition. Kverywhere that the new blood goeB it carries vigor and this tonic treatment is the one thing that most rundown, dehjlitated people need. ypnrowndrufrgistsells Dr. Williams' Tink Tills.
