FOR 41 YEARS BOB MARTIN'S
CONDITION POWDERS have been keeping dogs FIT!
“HERE is only one way to keep
Tyour dog always fit and happy,
and that is to provide him with Bob Martin's Condition Powders, which remove all impurities from the blood, keep the liver active and the stomach sweet.
The reason why your dog's blood easily becomes impure is because, his skin is non-perous, and he cannot get rid of blood impur
ities by perspiring. If your dog were free to roam at will
he would condition himself by taking- the blood correctives which nature provides among certain wild grasses and herbage. But as nature's remedies are beyond his reach he relies on you to make good his loss.
If you will accept the advice of the world's lending breeders you will condition your dog with Bob Martin's Condition Powders. For 4 years all thoughtful dog owners,
