MUCH INTEREST DISPLAYED
IN REVIVAL meeting
A SERVICE WILL BE HELD AT
THE CHURCH TOMORROW
MORNING TEN O'CLOCK.

There was splendid audience to
greet the evangelist, Rev. Graham
McMurray, at the Main Street Chris
tan church last night Rev. McMur-
ray delivered his sermon, 1.-THE Devil
Oil the Run saving that if the
christians of Waxahachie would be-
gin to do their duty that the devil
would have to leave town. The
thought was for the individual to do
just what Christ did; exercise his or
her will power; that the Lord can't
make a man good unless he wills to
be good, and the devil can't make
him bad unless he wills to be bad.
The devil can tempt but he cannot
compel the individual to obey.
There is great interest in the
meeting. There was one confession
at the close of the service with
others almost persuaded. 1.-THE
Cross of Christ" will be the subject
OF the discourse at this evening"
service There will be services at
the church at 10 a. m. tomorrow.

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: IF you were to make an
actual blood test ON all people who are
Ill 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
result of this continuous blood and
nerve starvation, people become gen
orally weakened, nervous and all run
down, and frequently develop all 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 of 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:

have seen dozens of nervous, run-dowM
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 fourteeh
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 alR
the wonders wrought by new remedies
but when you come down to hard facta
there is nothing like good old iron to
put color in your cheeks and good
sound, healthy flesh on your bones. It
is also a great nerve and stomach
strengthened and the best blood bulldog
in the world. The only trouble was
that the old forms of inorganic irona
like tincture of iron, iron acetate, etc.,
often ruined peoples teeth, upset their
stomachs and were not assimilateds
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 I'M
it's potency that they authorize the ans
nouncement that they will forfeit $4,000
to any Charitable Institution if they cam
not take any man or woman under sixty
who lacks iron and increase their strength
200 per cent or over in four weeks tinesl
provided they have no serious organize
trouble. Also they will refund your money
in any case in which Nuxated Iron does
not at least double your strength in ten
days time. It is dispensed by most drug
