NEW YORK, N. Y.-Not long ago
man came to me who was nearly half
a century old and asked nae to give
him a preliminary examination for
life insurance. I was astonished to
find him with the blood pressure of q
boy of 20 and as full Of vigOr, vim and
vitality as a young man; in fact q
young man he really was nOtwithstand-
ing his age. The secret he said was
taking iron-nuxated iron had filled
him with renewed life. At 30 he was
in bad health; at 46 careWOrn. and
nearly all in. Now at so a miracle of
vitality and his face beaming with the
buoyancy of youth. AS / have said a
hundred times over, iron is the great
est of all strength builders. If people
would only throw away patent medi-
cineS and nauSeOuS connections and
take simple nuxated iron, am con-
vinced that the lives of thousands of
persons might be saved, who now die
every year from pneumonia, grippe,
consumption, kidney, liver and heart
trouble, etc. The real and true cause
which started their diseases was moth
ing more nor less than a weakened
condition brought on by Lack Of iron in
the blood. Iron is absolutely neces-
sary to enable your blood to change
food into living tissue. Without it, no
matter how much or what you eat,
your food merely passes through you
without doing you any good. You don't
get the strength out Of it and as a con-
sequence you become weak, pale and
sickly looking just like plant trying
to grow in q soil deficient in iron. 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 fve-grain tablets of or
binary nuxated iron three times per

Uric Acid Poisoning?

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause of rheumatism.
that this uric acid poison is present in
the joints, muscles, or nerves. By ex-
perimenting and analysis at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in
Buffalo, N. T., DR.. Pierce discovered a
combination of native remedies that he
called Anuric-which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and in this
way the pain. swelling and inflamma-
ton subside. If you are sufferer from
rheumatism, backache, pains here or
there, you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from the
pains and Ills brought about by uric
acid; or send DR.. Pierce 10c for trial
pkg. Anuric which you will find many
times more potent than lithia and
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince yoM.
