A Kind Word.

If you feel yourself growing weak,
your strength failing, the natural
functions Of the body becoming i'm.
paired, take warning in time: your
system needs Iron, which, when con.
tinued with proper vegetable extracts,
produces a tonic of rare medicinal eff
feet. Such remedy is Browns Iron
Bitters. Buy it Of your druggist and do
not be persuaded to take substitute,
for this is the only remedy which gives
permanent strength. It contains no
alcohol, nor does it blacken the teeth.
It receives the universal endorsement
of clergymen, physicians, druggists
and all who have used it.
