STUDY PUTS STRAIN ON YOUR CHILDREN Need Building Up School Days — The Safe Tonic Is Father John's Medicine During the long strain of the se year, many children become pale, :l:l‘:;l and tired. The strain of the winter's etudy is too =reat for the growing child In many cases: At such a time Father John's Medi- cine is of par- ticular value and thousands of mothers give it to their children regu- larly and find that it gives t h e children the ton. ..ud that they need. To keep all the family well and strong, Father John's Me: ne is of proven value. It has been successfully used for sixty- seven years. Its special value as a food tomic is due to the fact that its basis is cod liver oil combined in a scientific way with other ingredients.
