There is No Need to Suffer From
Blood Impurities and Nerve
Disorders,
Or For One to Be An Object of Aversion to
All With Whom They Come in Contact,
When DR.. Clarke's Red-IrOn-Pills
Cure Such Diseases.

The most terrible part Of blood diseases il
that they are apparent to all. The suffer
ing that sensitive persons feel when upon tbeii
faces is SO plainly stamped the marks of dis
ease is perhaps greater than the actual pain
they experience from their trouble. Blood
disorders besides almost always being visible
TO everyone that the sufferer comes in contact
with are of peculiarly aggressive nature.
Impurities in the blood grow and develop in
u remarkable manner. When the blood is
once diseased, every organ of the body soon
is affected. Rheumatism, dyspepsia, kidney
troubles, headaches, sleeplessness, loss Of
appetite. faces that are covered with pimples
or blotches, susceptibility to colds and numer-
Gus other ills are sure symptoms that the
blood and nerves have become a prey to dis
ease. Though blood and nerve troubles are
so prevalent and terminate in such terrible
manner, vet when properly treated they yield
quickly TO medicine.
The greatest remedy known to the advanced
science Of today for blood and nerve dis
eases, as well as the many ills that result from
hem, is DR.. Clarke's Red-Iron-Pils. These
little red pellets contain particular salt OF
iron that Acts most benefcially upon the nerves
and the blood. The iron that is contained in
these pills is Of such nature that the disagree
able Symptoms thatwere formerly experienced
when iron was taken are entirely ayerted.
We refer to constipation, headaches, feeling
OF oppression around the eyes and other signs
showing that too strong tonic had been ad-
ministercd. With this peculiar salt of iron,
however. the greatest good is accomplished
and what is more, is accomplished quickly.
In the hundreds of cases we continually
hear Of, where cure has been affected, we
will quote three letters written very close to-
gether. which in themselves form a story of
what Red-Iron-Pills will do. These read as
follows -

One great advantage of Red-Iron.Pills is
that they act quickly. The patient sees On

trial relief fund of New York with
credentials to Gen. Brooke. military
governor of Cuba, commencing the
Relief Association to him as distribu-
ting agent of the food supplies sent

the suffering Cubans. A second ship
load of these supplies, now preparing,
will include many foods specially
adapted to the needs Of women and
