New York, N. Y.-It'is conservative ly estimated that over three million people annually in this country alone are taking Nuxated Iron. Such aston ishing results have been reported from its use both by doctors and laymen, that a number of physicians in various parts of the country have been asked to explain why they prescribe it so ex- tensively, and why it apparently pro- duces so much better results than were obtained from the old forms of inor- ganic iron.
 Extracts from some of the letters re- ceived are given below:
 Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Author says;
 There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. Pallor means anaemia Anaemia means iron deficiency. The skin of anaemic men and women Is pale; the flesh fiabby; the muscles lack tone, the brain flags and the mem ory fails and they often become weak, ancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks.
 In the most common foods of Amer ica, the starches, sugars, table syr- ups candies. polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, maca- roni. sphagetti, tapioca, sago. farina, degerminated cornmeal, no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother
  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 preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron de- iciency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would salt when your food has not enough EalI.
 Dr. A ]. Newman, late Police Sur Feon of the City of Chicago and former House Surgeon. Jefferson Park Hospi- tai. Chicago, in commenting on Nux- ated Iron, says: "Is has been my par ticular duty during the past six years to assist in keepl.tg Chicago's five thousand blue-coats in good health and perfect fighting trim so that they would be physically equipped to withstand all manner of storms and the ravages of natures clements.
 Recently I was prompted through an endorsement of Nuxated Iron by Dr. If St. Elizabeth's Hospital. New York to give it a trial. This remedy has proven through my own tests of it to excel any preparation have ever used For creating red blood, building up the nerves, strengthening the muscles and correcting digestive disorders Dr. E. Sauer, Boston physician who has studied widely in both this coun- lry ana Tn great European Medi- cal Institutions says: 'As I have said hundred times over. organic iron IS the greatest of all strength builders If people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or rundown instead of dosing themselves with habit-forming drugs. stimulants and alcoholic beverages, I am convinced that in this way they could ward off disease. preventing it becoming or Sanic in thousands Of cases and there by the lives of thousands might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia. grippe kidney. liver. heart

trouble and other dangerous naladies. The real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by lack of iron in the blood.
 Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half century old and asked me to give him preliminary examination for life insurance l was astonished to find him with a blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as 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-nuX- ated iron had filled him with renewed life.- At 30 he was in bad health: at 46 he was careworn and nearly all in now at 50, 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 a conse- quence you become weak, pale and kly-looking, just like a plant, trying 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 or dinary 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 dozens of nervous. run down people who were ailing all the while double their strength and endurance and en- tirely 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 with
 out obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simply tC save a few cents. The iron demanded by Mother Nature for the red coioring
 matter in the blood of her children is, alas. not that kind of iron. You must take iron in form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete and rize-tighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into
