Life Guards in your Blood/ If hostile forces invaded Germany to-morrow, a vast army of trained soldiers would concentrate to destroy them. And the same thing ought to happen every time your blood is invaded by one of the innumerable microbes which enter your :,iose whenever you breathe, and your mouth whenever you eat or speak. Millions of soldiers should be ready to defend you against disease. What are those soldiers? Ask any doctor. He will tell you that your blood contains certain white cells which garrison your body, living side by side with the red cells —workers which supply the tissues of your body with oxygen. It is only lately that scientists have discovered the purpose for which the white soldier-cells exist. By watching tiny drops of warm blood under the microscope, they found out that the duty of the soldier-cells is to grapple with invading microbes, and, if possible, to destroy them. That is what nature intended. But when your power of resistance is impaired by overwork or any other cause, the garrison of soldier-cells may be too weak or too few for a successful defence, and the invading microbes will win the day. At such times it is necessary to provide a supply ■ of-new recruits ready to take the place of the white cells, dying by millions in the fight for your life. How can you do this? By taking Virol. Certain " rare constituents" of our food have a stimulating effect on all those glands of the body in which white cells are made. The same is true of red bone-marrow, as we might expect, seeing that this marrow exists for the making of blood. These "rare constituents" are combined with red bone-marrow in Virol, so that in it we have a double instrument for-helping the body to reinforce the army of health. When you are suffering from weakness or exhaustion, take Virol regularly three times a day, a teaspoonful after meals, or it may be taken in warm milk, and you will serve health where health begins, which is in healthy blood, crammed with fighting cells that will take the life of any invader.
