Be Fair To. Your Heart!

Your heart is the most important organ of your whole body. It does a tremendous amount of work every

day, pumping the life blood through your system. It can never stop working; when it does die.

The pressure of modern life Im- poses a great strain upon the heart, so if you have reason to suspect that all is not well consult a doctor with- out delay, for prompt treatment wili usually correct any irregularly.

If your blood is thin, weak and watery you are not being fair to your heart, which requires rich, red blood to give it the strength to do its world efficiently.
