Physician Says Ordinary Nuxated Iron
Will Increase Strength of Delicate
Folk 200 Per Cent in TWO
Weeks Time in Many
Instances.

NEW YORK, N. Yin a recent dis
course DR.. e. Sauer, Specialist, of this
city, said: eff you were to make an
actual blood test on all people who are
i'll you would probably be greatly as
tonished at the exceedingly large num-
Der who lack iron and who are i'll for
no other reason than the lack of iron.
The moment iron is supplied all their
multitude of dangerous symptoms dis
appear. Without iron the blood at once
loses the power to change food into liv-
ing tissue, and therefore nothing you
eat does you any good; you don't get
the strength out of it. Your food mere
ly passes through your system like corn
through a mill with the rollers so wide
apart that the mill can't grind. AS a
result of this continuous blood and
nerve starvation, people become gen
orally weakened, nervous and all run
down, and frequently develop ali sorts
of conditions. One is too thin; another
is burdened with unhealthy fat; some
are so weak they can hardly walk ;
some think they have dyspepsia, kidney
or liver trouble; some can't sleep at
night; others are sleepy and tired all
day; some fussy and irritable; some
skinny and bloodless, but all lack physi-
cal power and endurance. In such
cases it is worse than foolishnesS to
take stimulating medicines or narcotic
drugs. which only whip up your tagging
vital powers for the moment, maybe at
the expense a your life later on. No
matter what anyone tells you, if you
are not strong and well you owe it to
yourself to make the following test:

To Show what this poor man had in

given to me by one of the most famous
scholars, philosophers and professional
men in America. They show what a

this.
He told her as much, and indicated
so strongly his meaning that the girl
looked like peony when they reached
the outskirts of Eppingham. Yet he
could see that she was not displeased
with him.
"Why don't you settle here and try?''
she asked.
would you allow me to see you
again?"
"The future will tell" she answered
systematically. But, honestly, if you
are looking for employment, my father
would be only too pleased to offer you
something, l know. He is always LOOK

At this moment Frank perceived the
old gentleman of the flOwer-beds COM

ing the girl with Frank, and the latter
leading tie horse, he stopped in par
donable establishment.

STRENGTH of Paper.

From an examination of various pa
pers. prepared with different proper
tons of rags, sizing and loading, it ap-
pears that the mechanical properties
are improved by increasing the pro-
norton of rags. Resin sizing dimin-
ishes the strength, while animal sizing
increases it. An increase in the pro-
portion of rags, also sizing of any kind,
enables larger proportion of loading
material to be retained by the paper.
Loading decreases the strength of all
;,apers. the percentage of loss approx
mating % times the percentage of
loading material.

"Henceforward, I'll be a rolling
stone no more" said Frank Latham, as
he stepped out of the train at Epplng-
ham. I'm going TO get a job ana
stick to it. I'm twenty-siX, and it's

pingham's good enough for me. I'll
become a local magnate and own half
the town, and be an influence in the
county, and maybe I'll go into politics
and perhaps wind up as governor, or
even"
"Hey, young Teller! Get out of
tnat!'
It was a sad awakening from his
dream. Frank had inadvertently
stepped off the road and into the flow
err beds of q real local magnate, to
Judge from the splendOr of the house
and the extensive grounds. And when
one is in old clothes one must dream
carefully.
With low apology, Frank turned to

"What do you mean by walking over

said the man wrathfully. "Get out
of here, and don't let me see your face
again, or I'll have you run out OF
town. I'll know you next time we
meet" he added.
Frank made off; there was nothing
else to do, in fact. A little way down
the street he stopped to ask native,
who owned the big place.
That's Mr. Stone" said the man,
grinning. Il guess you've heard of
him, haven't yOu?"
''The man who's building the big

"COnfOund it." thought Frank. For
he had come to Eppingham, investing
his last ten dollars on the train fare,
because he heard that there was to be

had not made the most of his oppor-

people who were ailing all the time
double and even triple their strength
and endurance and entirely get rid of
their symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and
other troubles in from ten to fourteen
days time simply by taking iron in the
proper form, and this, after they had
in some cases been doctOring for
months without obtaining any benefit.
You can talk as you please about all
the wonders wrought by new remedies,
but when you come down to hard facts
there is nothing like good old iron to
put color in your cheeks and good,
sound, healthy flesh on your bones. 1t
is also a great nerve and stomach
strengthened and the best blood builder
in the world. The only trouble was
that the old forms Of inorganic iron,
like tincture of iron, iron acetate, etc.,
often ruined peoples teeth, upset their
stomachs and were not assimilated.
and for these reasons they frequently
did more harm than good. But with
the discovery of the newer forms of
organic iron all this has been overcome.
Nuxated Iron, for example, is pleasant
to take, does not injure the teeth and Is
almost Immediately beneficial.
NOTE-The manufacturers of Nuxated
Iron have such unbounded confidence In
its potency that they authorize the an
nouncement that they will forfeit $4,000
to any Charitable Institution IL they can
not take any man or woman under sixty
who lacks iron and increase their strength

Cardui Wins Suit.

After a trial in the United States
District Court of Chicago, before Judge
Carpenter and federal jury, the jury
found the American Medical Assocla-
ton guilty of libeling Cardui, the wom-
ans tonic, which they had denounced
as a "nOStrum."
This is q vindication of the medicine
and a proof that it has merit, whlch
was recognized by jury after trial
of three months, one Of the longest
civil cases on record.
Many doctors and chemists testlhed
on both sides and the evidence totaled
nearly four million words.
