Ordinary Nuxated Iron VIII Make Del

2CO Per Cent. Stronger in Two
Weeks Time in Many Cases.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Most people
eoolishly seem to think they are gong
to get renewed health and strength
from some stimulating medicine, Sc
rret nostrum or narcotic drug, said
DR.. Sauer. a well-known Specialist VINO
has studied widely both in this coun-
trv and Europe, when, as a matter
of fact. real and true strength can only
come from the food you eat. But peo-
ple often fail to get the strength out
of their food because they haven't
anough iron in their blood to enable
If TO change food into living matter.
From their weakened, nervous condl-
tion they know something is wrong
but they can't tell what, so they gener-
ally commence doctoring 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
suffers 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

Where Il lot of these colleges make

played last season or fifteen years ago,
perhaps, and think just because he
could get over tho ground or could

IRON is Greatest of All Strength

Secret of the Great Endurance and PoWer of Athletes

and entirely get rid of all 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. But
don't take the old forms of reduced
iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron
simply to save few cents. You must
take iron in q form that can be east
ly absorbed and assimilated like nux-
ated iron if you want 1t to do you any
good, otherwise it may prove worse
than useless. Many an athlete or
prize-fghter has won the day simply
because he knew the secret Of great
strength and endurance and filed his
blood with iron before he went into
the ARRAY, while many another has
gone down to inglOrious defeat simply
for the lack of iron.
NOTE-Nuxated Iron recommended
above by DIR. Sauer is not a patent medi-
well known to druggists and whose iron
constituents is widely prescribed by emil
nent physicians everywhere. Unlike the
older inorganic iron products II is easily
assimilated, does not injure the teeth,

on the contrary, 1t is a most potent reme-

well as for nervous, rundown conditions

fidence in Nuxated Iron that they offer
to forfeit $4,000 to any charitable insti-
