Iron when they feel weak or run
with habit-forming drugs, stimulants
and alcoholic beverages I am con
vinced that in this way they could
ward off disease, preventing 1t becom-
ing organic in thousands of cases
and thereby the lives Of thousands
might be saved who now die every
year from pneumonia, grippe, kidney,
liver, heart trouble and other danger
GUS maladies. The real and true
cause which started their diseases
was nothing more nor less than
weakened condition brought on by
lack Of iron in the blood.
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 a conse-
quence you become weak, pale and
sicl1ly-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
following test: see how long you can
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. l 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 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-
durance and filled his blood with
iron before he went into the ARRAY;
while many another has gone down
to inglorious defeat simply for the
lack OF iron"

New York, N. Y.--It is conserva-
lively estimated that over three mil
lion people annually in this country
alone are taking Nuxated Iron. Such
astonishing results have been report.
ed from it's use both by doctors and
laymen, that number Of physicians
in various parts of the country have
been asked to explain why they pre-
scribe it so extensively. and why it
apparently produces so much better
results than were obtained from the
old forms Of inorganic iron.
Extracts from some of the letters
received are given below:
DR.. Ferdinand King, a New York
Physician, and medical author, says:
There can be no sturdy iron men
without iron. Pallor means anaemia.
Anaemia means iron deficiency. The
skin of anaemic men and women Is
pale. The flesh flabby. The muscles
lack tone, the brain flags and the
memory fails and they often become
weak, nervous, irritable, respondent
and melancholy. When the iron goes
from the blood Of women, the roses
go from their cheeks.
In the most common foods Of
America, the starches, sugars, table
syrups, candies, polished rice, white
bread, soda crackers, biscuits, mac
aroni spaghetti, tapioca, sage, farina,
degerminated cornmeal, no longer Is
iron to be found. Refining processes
have removed the iron Of Mother
Earth from these impoverished foods,
and silly methods Of home cookery,
by throwing down the waste-pipe the
water in which our vegetables are
cooked are responsible for another
grave iron loss.
Therefore. If you wish to get the
most out of what you eat, you
must supply the iron deficiency
in your food by using some form
of organic iron just as you
would use salt when your food has
not enough salt.
DR. James LOUIS Beyea, for 10
years Adjunct Professor in the New
York Homeopathic Medical College,
says: ''As a physician I have always
been opposed to prescribing adver-
tised remedies, and for fifteen years,
while Adjunct Professor in the New
York Homeopathic Medical College,
taught my medical students that
such remedies were generally value
less, but in the case of Nuxated Iron
severe tests made on myself and
numerous patients, have absolutely
convinced me that it Is a remedy Of
most extraordinary merit and one
which should be generally prescribed
by all physicians. Notwithstanding
the fact that I am nearing my S0th
birthday, short course Of Nuxated
Iron has made me feel like new
man. Friends say, What have you
been doing to yourself. you look so
we'll and full Of life?' In my opinion
there is nothing like organic IRON
Nuxated Iron. But beware of the old
forms Of metallic iron which often
do more harm than good. To be alb
solutely sure that my patients get
real organic iron and not some form
of metallic variety, l always prescribe
Nuxated Iron in the original pack
ages"
DR.. E. Sauer, Boston physician
who has studied widely both in this
country and in great European Medi
cal Institutions says: CAS- I have said
a hundred times over. organic iron Is
the greatest of all strength builders.
If people would only take Nuxated

of it. The
men and wom-
en- of today need more iron in their
blood than was the case twenty or
thirty years ago. This because or
the de-mineralized diet which now Is
served daily in thousands Of homes
and also because of the demand Tor
greater resistance necessary to otlseI
the greater number of health haz-
ards to be met at every turn"
DIR. N. H. Hornstine, for ten years
in the Department of Public Health
and Charities of Philadelphia, said
After carefully examining the form
ula of Nuxated Iron l realized that
here at last was organic iron-tle
only kind / could conscientiously

with other ingredients as to be easily
assimilated and calculated to act as

Of the remarkable and unusual power

took it found the rapidly with which
my energy and endurance Increased
most surprising. In my opinion the
widespread use of Nuxated Iron Is
bound to make a nation OF stronger
men, lovelier women and healthier
children"
NOTE: Nuxated Iron, which is pre-
scribed and recommended above by
physicians in such great variety OF
cases, is not a patent medicine nor
secret remedy, but one which is well
known to druggists and whose iron
constituents are widely prescribed by
eminent physicians both in Europe
and America. Unlike the older in
organic iron products. it is easily as
simulated, does not injure the teeth,
make them black, nor upset the stom-
ach; on the contrary, it is most
potent remedy in nearly all forms or
indigestion as well as for nervous.
rundown conditions. The manufac-
turers have such great confidence in
nuxated iron, that they offer to for

ton if they cannot take any man or
