IMPORTANT TO ALL INvALIDSl
IRON IN THE LOODl
1t is well known to the Medical Profession that
IRON is THE VITAL PRINCIPLE OR
LIFE ELEMENT Of the BLOOD.

This is derived chiefly from the food we eat,
but If the food is not properly digested, or II from
any cause whatever, the necessary quantity Of
iron is not taken into the circulation, or becomes
reduced, the whole system suffers. The bad blood
will irritate the heart, will clog up the lungs, will
stupefy the brain, will obstruct the liver, and
will send its disease producing elements TO all
parts of the system, and every one will suffer in
whatever organ may be predis posed to disease.
The great value of -
IRON AS A MEDICINE
is well known and acknowledged by all medical
men. The difficulty has been 10 obtain such
preparation of 1t as will enter the circulation AMI
assimilate at once with the blood. This point,
says Dr. Hayes, Massachusetts State Chemist,
has been attained in the Peruvian Syrup,by com.
bination in a way before unknown.
