DOWN AND OUT MOTHER BRACES UP. SURPRISES
 WHOLE FAMILY

She had worked, loved and was happy in doing for her children, and when she started to break down they were frantic, were willing to do al- most anything to make her last years happy and free from worry and ill., ness. Nothing they did seemed to help; doctors, medicines or rest gave no results.
 Finally, when all were about desperate with worry neighbor in duced them to try Phosphated Iron. It had worked such wonders with her old folks. Ready to grasp at any help they got a supply and the way their mother improved from the start was almost too good to believe. It sure was a happy and reunited family and you can bet they are all boosting Phosphated Iron to the limit. Doctors the world over will tell you what Phospates and Iron will build up and store strength and energy against old age and nervous break downs. One of our leading physicians says, ''The, results I have obtained with Phosphated Iron have 1 been great in cases of old people where it was necessary to build uI strength, revive bodily functions give them life, renewed youth and l health"
 There must be something to it Doctors and druggists all tell tht same story of success.
 Special Notice-To insure physi clans and their patients getting tht l genuine Phosphated Iron 1t is pu up in capsules only. Do not allow dealers to give you pills or tablets
