NEW YORK. y. Y.-Snce the remarkable
discovery of organic iron Nuxated Iron or "Fer
Nuxate," as the French call it, has taken the
country by storm, il is conservatvely estimated
that over five million persons daily are taxing
it in this country alone. Most astonishing
suits are reported from it's use by both physi-
clans and laymen. So much so that weIl-known
doctors predict that We shall soon have new
age of far more beautiful, rosy-cheeked women
and vigorous iron men.
DR.. King, well-known New York physician
and author, when interviewed on the subject
said: There can be no vigorous iron men with
out iron. Pallor means anemia. Anemia means
iron deficiency. The skin Of anemic men and
women is pale. The flesh flsbby. The muscles
lack tone; the brain Tags and the memory fails
and often they become weak, nervous, irritable
Respondent and melancholy. When the iron
goes from the blood of women. the roses 60
from their cheeks.
''In most common foods Of America, the
starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished
rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits macs-
roni spaghetti, tapioca. sage. farina, degermi-
mated cornmeal, no longer is iron to be found
Refining processes have removed the iron Of
Mother Earth from these impoverished foods,
and silly methods of home cookery, by throw
ing down the waste pipe the water in which
our vegetables are cooked, are responsible for
another grave iron loss.
Therefore, II you wish to preserve your
youthful vim and vigor TO a ripe old age, you
must supply the iron deficiency in your food
by using some form or organic iron. just as
you would salt when your food has not
enough salt
Dr. Sauer. of the most widely known
physicians in this country, who has studied
abroad in great European medical institutions
said: 'As l have said hundred times over
organic iron is the greatest of all strength
builders. II people would only throw away
patent medicines and nauseous connections and
take simple nuxated iron, / convinced that
the lives of thousands Of persons might be
saved who now die every year from pneumonia
grippe. consumption, kidney, liver, heart trouble
etc. The real and true cause which started
their disease was nothing more nor less than
weakened condition brought on by lack Of
iron in the blood
Not long ago a man came to who was
nearly half century old and asked me to give
him a preliminary examination for life insur-
ance. / was astonished TO find him with the
blood pressure of BOY of twenty and as full
of yigor. vim and vitality as young man;
i'm fact, young he really was. notwith-
standing his age. The secret. he said, was
taking iron-Nuxated Iron had filled him with
renewed life. At thirty he was in bad health;
at forty-siX he care-wOrn and nearly all in
Now at fifty a miracle of vitality and his face
beaming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is
absolutely necessary to enable your blood to
change food into living tissue. Without it, no
matter how much or what you eat, your food

good. You don't get the strength out Of it.
and a consequence you become weak, pale
and sckly looking, just like a plant trying
to grow in a soil deficient in iron. II You
are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself
to make the following test: See how long you
can wor; or how far you can walk without be-
coming 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 how much you have

down people who were ailing all the while double

themselves Of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver

time simply by taking iron in the proper form.

dOctoring for months without obtaining any
benefit. But don't take the old forms of re-
simply to save a few cents. The iron demand
ed by Mother Nature for the red colOring mat
