WHY WOMEN FADE.

A million women today should be told what other millions have learned. That they need one element in their blood far more than men, and that lack of 1t is the reason they are apt to fade many years before they should. The needed element is iron. Iron builds up the red corpuscles of the blood and sustains vitality and strength.
 Women need a constant supply of blood making material or their systems break down under the constant drain. The very moment there is lack of blood, or when the blood Is impoverished, the signal ap- pears upon the face in sallowness or pailor.
 The remedy needed is Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. Nothing else meets this paraicular condition so well. Use of it has made hundreds of thousands of women look many years younger and made them feel even younger than they looked. It not only restores strength, energy and beauty, but 1t is as prompt and certain cure for all tho ills peculiar to the sex. It cures be- cause it removes the first cause. It sup plies just what nature needs to bring health
 It strengthens debilitated organs, gives tone and elasticity to muscles and liga- ments, rounds out wasted tissues and re- news the vigor of the nervous system. It helps quickly and just as surely and permanently.
 Has been used and praised by women for forty-five years. Prepared only by The Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,, Dayton, O. For sale everywhere.
