NATURE MEANT 1T.
When Nature Put Iron Into Your Blood
 She Meant It.

She didn't do it for fun It wasn't on acci- dent.
 Our bodies need iron we would never find it 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? It is for strength. It is a food. It is necessary for certain pro- cesses of living.
 The want of it makes us sick.
 How can we tell the want of 1t?
 Paleness is sign. Weakness, thinness. general debility, depression, nervousness, rheumatism, chills, ague and lack of ambi- tion 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 ife-such people need iron. Do you?
 Many remedies for all these ills contain drugs and menerals that are never found in the body unless put there. Can they be natural?
 Better take a medicine containing ingredi- ents which nature uses herself in building up the body
 You wouldn't patch up an iron building with wood.
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic puts iron in your blood. Iron in the form most easily used. pr. Harters Iron Tonic builds you up and makes you strong as iron.
 Dallas, Tex, Dec. 15, 1897. Dallas News: Gentlemen-Answering your inquiry of today I cheerfully recom- mend Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic for a general household medicine. I have used several bottles in my family, and for building up the system, loss of appetite and indigestion it can't be beat. In future I will always have a bottle of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic in the house. J. J. BINGON.
 "218 N. Harwood."
 Dr. Harters Iron Tonic has been used by and has brought health to thousands A let ter received from one of the most prominent men in Ohio, Hon. J. W. Cruikshank, of Troy ex-chief of the supreme court of Ohio, will serve an example. He says:
 "For the benefit of other sufferers I con- slider it my duty to speak of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. My wife was an invalid for several years, had lost nearly all vitality; she could not eat and was reduced in flesh to an alarming extent. All medicines failed to give relief until we tried Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic, which restored her usual health and strength in very short time. Words cannot express our appreciation of this val uable remedy It is certainly a wonder and worthy of place in every home."
