Nover has anytmng produced such wonderful results as the now flesh builder, I'rotonc. Thin, anaemic, pale faced, thin-lipped, tired, aching, bony men and women take on a most remark able new leaso of life. The hollow places fill out, the nerves are sheathed with healthy covering, the musctoM plump up with natural flesh, the eyes lose that hungry, pleading ex pression, and you feel better and stronger lu nvery part of the body. The secret is In tho fact that I'rotonc corrects the faults ot assimilation. Your food is con verted into tlie kind of blood that makes solid fltsh. Your entire system becomes gieedy for this new, rich, red material. Thin people are often hearty eaters, but tho blood Is watery. The substan tial elements don't get Into tho circu lation, hut pass along without living as similated. But I'rotoue has the most remarkable effect of arousing Intestinal absorption of food elements and It is nothing unusual for thin men and women to gain weight 11 pound a duy until nor mal Is reached. Naturo takeH caro of this, for when tho natural weight has been attained, the surplus is converted into waste und thrown out through tho emunctorics of tho body. The tegular $1.00 size of I'rotoue is for salo ny all drugglstv, or will be mailed direct, upon receipt of price, oy the I'ro tonc Co., 4K4 I'rotoue Bldg.. Detroit. Mich.
