UWtle Girl Improves Rapidly When Given
ZIRON Iron Tonio.
Many mothers try one remedy after an
other, for the sufferings of their fittlie ones,
without apparently being able to find the
right one. If anything seems wrong with
.hs blood, or stomach, or if the child's
system is run-down and needs strengthen
ing, you may benefit by the experience of
Is West reland Tenn., mother, Mrs.
John F. An lea, who writes:
"My littl girl had a terrible skin disease
and her sto iach was in such a bad' condi
tion. Not ' g helped her, so we finally
srig, to give her Ziron.
, he hmproyqd so rapidly from the first
bottle, so we have given her two more.
She is much better.
Doat't try other remedies firstt Choose
Ziron fron the start. It has benefited
many p eopid stffering from poor blood
general weakness, loss of appetite and
pther sy niptonis which indicate lack of
