Special Advantages Of this Loan.

1t is National Savings Bank, offering a
higher rate of interest than any other, and
the best security. Any savings bank which
pays its depositors in U. S. Notes, considers
that it is paying in the best circulating me-
dunn of the country, and it cannot pay in
anything better, for its own assets are either
in government securities or in notes or bonds
payable In government paper.
1t is equally convenient as a temporary or
permanent investment The notes can al
ways be sold for within fraction of their
face and accumulated interest, and are the
best security with banks as collaterals for
discounts.

IRON IN THE BLOOD.

IRUN IN The BLOOD.
1t is we'll known 10 the medical profession
that IRON is the Vital Principle of Life FL
ement of The blood. This is derived chiefly
from the food We eat; but if the food is not
properly digested, or if, from any cause ,ohat-
erer, the necessary quantity Of iron is not
taken into the circulation, or becomes re-
duced, the whole system suffers. The bad
blood wiz irrita'e the heart, will clo z up the
lungs, will stupefy the brain, will obstruct
the liver, and will send its dlsease-producing
elements TO all parts OF the system, and eve
ry one will suffer in whatever organ may be
predisposed TO disease.
