Ordinary Nuxated Iron VIII Make Delicate,

Stronger IN Two Weeks Time,
In Many Cases.


In Many Cases.
NEW YORK, N. Y.-Most people foolishly
seem to think they are going to get renewed
health and strength from some stimulating
medicine, secret nostrum or narcotic drug,
said DR.. Sauer, a well-known specialist, who
has studied widely both in this country and
Europe, when, as a matter of fact, real and
true strength can only come from the food
you eat. But people often fail to get the
strength out of their food because they
haven't enough iron in their blood to en-
able it to change food into living matter.
From their weakened. nervous condition they
know something is wrong. but they can't
tell what, so they generally commence doc
toring for stomach, liver or kidney trouble
or symptoms of some other ailment caused
by the lack of iron in the blood. This thing
may go on for years, while the patient suf-
fers untold agony. If you are not strong
or well, you owe 1t to yourself to make the
following test. See how long you can work
or how far you can walk without becoming
tired. Next take two five grain tablets of
ordinary nuxated iron three times per day
after meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see for yourself how
much you have gained / have seen dozens
of nervous, rundown people. who were all
ing all the while, double and even triple
their strength and endurance and entirely

The party was aboard the British cruiser Hamp-

Either torpedo or mine struck the cruiser, which
was taking Kitchener to Russia, probably to confer
with the czars military leaders regarding concert
ed offensive. Following was the admiralty report:
''The admiralty reports deep regret that the ship
Hampshire, with Lord Kitchener and his staff
aboard, was sunk about o'clock last night off the
Orkney islands by mine or torpedo.
"Four boats were seen from shore leaving the
ship. Heavy seas were running
"Patrol vessels and destroyers proceeded to the
scene.
"The whole shore has been searched from the sea-
ward but it is greatly feared there is little hope for
the survivors," = .
It was announced that searching parties had found
only number of dead bodies and one capsized boat.

Harmon was instructed to call

These charges are principally
of alleged gross incompetency.
Several of them cite special in

competency, mismanagement
carelessness with city affairs and

men as his subordinates.
