You girls who lose so much dur
ing monthly periods that you are
pale, feel tired, weak, “dragged

need more blood-iron.
So start right away—try Lydia

the best home ways to build up
red blood to give more strength
and energy—in such cases.
Pinkham’s Tablets are one of
the greatest blood-iron tonics you
can buy. They help build up the
red quality of the blood by rein
forcing the haemoglobin of red
blood cells. Just try them for 30
days and see if you, too, don’t
remarkably benefit.
