Iron is absolutely necessary to en-
able your blood to change food into
living tissue. Without 1t. no matter
how rluch or what you eat, your food
merely passes through you without
doing you any good. You don't get
the strength out Of 1t, and as a con-
sequence you become weak, pale and
sickly looking, just like a plant try

iron. A patient OF mine remarked
to me (after having been on a six
weeks course OF Nuxated Iron), Say,
Doctor, that there stun Is like magic!
"Tf you are not strong or well you
owe II to yourself to make the fol-
