Read What This Memphis Man
Says About His Experiences
With AIM in II Years.

II believe I have had more ex-
perience with Acid Iron Mineral than

kins, a well-known business man of
Memphis, Tenn, living at 1878 Ex-
change avenue.
1T has cured tumors where doc
tors said there was no cure except
an operation. 1t has cured hundreds
of cases of female trouble where
doctors said nothing but an opera
tion would do any good. Acid Iron
Mineral will cure any sore in the
flesh that can be- cured. With a
little purgative it will cure almost
anything that can be cured when
taken internally.
Il have been handling Acid Iron
Mineral for seventeen years and have
sold between forty and fifty thou
sand bottles. During that time only
one person requested his money back
and l returned the money as will
ingly as l took it.
It have five children and 1 gave
each of them Aim before they
were a month old, and still give it
to them when they need any medi-
cine"
We believe this statement to be un-
equaled in the praise of any medi-
cine before the public. When you
praise Acid Iron Mineral you praise
nature, for it is from nature that
this preparation is obtained. Alco-
hol, and the dope of the pill maker,
or the drug of the Chemist are not
found in it. 1t is obtained from the
only natural medicinal iron mineral
deposit of its kind known to the
world, and comes closest to the ideal
