Blood and Iron.

You could not live an hour without iron
In your blood.
You could not get the benefit OF one
breath OF air without this same iron.
The blood runs the circuit of the body
every three minutes, and when 1t reaches
the lungs each atom OF iron takes two
atoms OF oxygen back with 1t to keep the
fires of life going This oxygen destroys
waste matter and helps to restore your
wasted tissues.
II your blood lacks Iron you lack that
much of life; you fail that much to keep
up the needed repair OF your bodies-that
u.s. you get run down and sick. This ac-
counts for the llfe-gvIng properties Of DR..
Harters Iron Tonic. 1t supplies iron, and
10 do that Is to restore the full body-build
Ing power to the blood. This iron has n
peculiar llfe-quickening function; vitality
goes down whenever any proportion OF the
iron Is lacking. yigor aud strength return
just as surely when this element Is re-
stored.
nr. Harters Iron Tonic helps sick or
tired-out people quickest because It con.
iains the particular matchmaking and
strensth-giving form OF iron that the sys-
tenn needs. This remedy pnrihes and en-
riches the blood II increases the activity
