NATURE MEANT IT.
When Nature Put Iron into Our
Hood. She Meant II.

|
| Hood, She Meant II.
She didn't do 1t for fun. 1t wasn't an acci-
dent.
Our bodies need iron, or we would never
| find II in the blood in the gastric juice,
in the chyle, In the lymph, in the bile, in
the pigment of the eye. in the milk and
in other natural secretions of the body
| What is the iron for? IL is for strength.
1t is food. 1t is necessary for certain
processes of living.
| The want OF IL makes us sick.
| How can we tell the want of it?
Paleness is a sign. Weakness, thinness,
general debility. depression. nervousness,
| rheumatism. chills, ague and lack of am
bition and vitality.
All these mean the want of iron.
People who are always ailing, who catch
cold and other diseases easily, who suffer
from aches and pains who are too weak
TO work and too depressed to enjoy life
such people need iron, DO YOU
Many remedies for all these ills contain
drugs and minerals that are never found
IN the body unless put there. Can they
be natural?
Better take a medicine containing in
gradients which nature uses herself in
building up the body.
You wouldn't patch up an iron build
ing with wood.
DR., Harter's Iron Tonic puts iron in
your blood. Iron in the form most easily
used. DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic builds you
mp and makes You strong us iron.
IL has been used by, and has brought
health to thousands. letter received
from one OF the most prominent men in
Ohio, Hon. j w. Crukshank of Troy, ex-
clerk of the Supreme Court of Ohio, will
serve as an example. He says.
For the benefit of other sufferers |
consider it my duty to speak of DR.. Ilar-
ters Iron Tonic. My wife was an invalid
Tor several years, had lost nearly all vi
tally, she could not eat and was reduced
IN flesh to an alarming extent. All med-
cines failed to give relief until we tried
Dr. Hartcr's Iron Tonic, which restored
her usual health and strength in very
short time Words can not epress our APP

certainly wonder and worthy OF a place
