IRON IN THE BLOOD.

The necessity VI a due proportion of iron in the

becomes reduced from any cause whatever, the
whole system suffers, the weakest part being first
attacked and feeling of languor la, sitnde and all
gonencss, pervadcs the system. Stmuiarts only
afford temporary relief and have the same erect
as giving a tired horse the whip instead of oats
The true remedy is to supply the blood with the
necessary quantity of iron. This can be done by
using the

which is so prepared that it assimilatcs at once
