Iodine is Flesh Forming

This has been proven by a New

perience has has many calls for salves
for cuts, burns and sores. He has
seen many things used but none with
such success as the following. 3years
ago he had a Burlington farmer call
with pile prescription. A month later
the farmer returned, said it cured him
and that he also tried it for cows score

druggist looked up the prescription
and found it contained iodine in form
that would build up new tissue without
the caustic acton of of the crude drug
on the old hearty tissue. He mixed
