4. in addition to the requirements
of General Orders No. hi. War De-

importance that offices and men be
thoroughly instructed before depait

bers of ships: no description or de-
tail of methods used to avoid enemy
submarines: no information concern

parture, arrival, debarkation: no

troops on transports will take every
precaution that letters are not left ot.

the expectation that they will reach

Iron in the blood makes living mat-

Muscular mechanics work on and

iron in the blood will strengthen
the system so that dyspepsia, llvet
and other troubles disappear. Bu»
there are many forms of iron. The
proper kind to take is one in an as-
similable form, that will not discolor
the teeth nor upset the stomach. This
form, familiarly known as “BLAUD'S
MASS, is contained in Pep Systematic
Pills and strengthened by other al-
terative and reconstructive tonics.
Pep Systematic Pills can also be
taken for such maladies as nervous-
ness, constipation, malaria, boils,
sleeplessness and a general run-down
fagged-out system.
Try a course of these pills today.
