weakened condition brought on by
lack of iron in, the blood.
Not long ago man came to me
who was nearly half a century old
and asked me to give him q prelim-
mary examination for life Insurance..
was astonished to find him with a
blood pressure OF boy of 20 and az
full of vigor, vim and vitality as a
young man; in fact a young man he
really was Notwithstanding his age.
The secret, he said. was taking iron
nuxated iron had filled him with re-
newed life. At 80 he was in bad
health; at 46 he was careworn and
nearly all in-now at so, after taking
Nuxated Iron miracle Of vitality and
his face beaming with the buoyancy
OF youth.
Iron is absolutely necessary to en-
able your blood to change food into
living tissue. Without it, no matter
how much or what you eat, your food
merely passes through you without
doing you any good, and as conse-
quence you become weak, pale and
sickly-looking, just like plant try
ing to grow in a soil deficient IN
iron. If you are not strong or well
you owe It to yourself to make the
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 how much
you have gained. I have seen doz-
ems Of nervous, rundown people who
were ailing all the while double their
strength and endurance and entirely
rid themselves 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 SIM
| ply to save a few cents. The iron
| demanded by Mother Nature for the
red coloring matter IN the blood of
! her children is, alas! not that kind
of iron. You must take iron in a form
| that can be easily absorbed and as
simulated to do you any good, other
wise it may prove worse than useless.
Many an athlete and priZe-fighter has
won the day simply because he knew
! the secret of great strength and en-
/ dlrance and filled his blood with
| iron before he went into the affray;
while many another has gone down
to inglorious defeat simply for the
! lack of IRON

At the ministers meeting yester-

Chicago, gave a splendid talk to the
ministers of the city on 1.-THE Every
Member Canvass" Mr.. Rossiter is
business man Of the first type.
Previous to this work he was one of

Chairman Mcfarland Of the coal
conservation committee, came before
the ministers of the city yesterday
and presented the seriousness of the
coal situation in the city. He made
the following suggestions to the
churches:
1. Union meetings on Sunday
evenings.
2. Cottage prayer meetings
through the week, instead of in
church.
8. Wherever possible, contine even
the Sunday morning meetings to the
chapels.
The ministers after very serious
deliberation, decided that they would
submit the matter to their respective
| churches and allow them to decide
freely what curtailment Of their
work they could safely concede.
Speaking Of the conservation Of
coal, many Of the churches last Sum
day, unsolicited, held their services
in their chapels. The churches re-
porting this were United Presby-
terian church. First Baptist church,
Westminster Presbyterian church for
the evening service. African M. r.
