How Weak, Delicate,
Thin Folks May Get
Strong and Sturdy
ADVICE OF a SOUTHERN DOCTOR


There are three fundamental
causes for weakness, thinness, deli
cate constitution, and a rundown
condition, says DR.. Boudousuuie, the
well-known New Orleans physician-
author, who has travelled and studied
extensively in France, Italy and
Austria. First, depleted nerve sub
stance; second, ~lack of red blood
corpuscles, and third. the poisonous
toxins in the system tearing down
the flesh and strength. Most per-
sons do not get enough nerve-ma-
king red blood building, tissue man
ufacturing and anti-toxic elements
out of the ordinary cooked foods of
to-day. What they need is a sub
stance like bloodiron salts, which has
all these essential ingredients. Let
those who suffer take blood-iron
salts after meals for a while, and
you will soon see many of their old
troubles disappear. The weak, thin,
delicate folks often become strong
and sturdy when drugs oils. exercise
and other methods fail.
NOTE-The dose is two 5-grain
tablets after meals, but where only
strength and endurance are desired,
and not added flesh and weight, only
one tablet should be taken. Blood
iron Salts is dispensed in this city
by George A. Gorgas, G.. nj. Fodney
and all good druggists.

That soldiers may have plenty of
books, magazines, and periodicals,
the local Red Cross Society will re-
ceive literature and forward it to
the soldiers. A large table will be
placed in room of the Eager build

Winston Spencer Churchill, minis
ter, has added his note of pessimism
to those sounded within the last few
days by others supposedly qualified
to speak for the Entente.
In a speech at Bedford he declared
the situation was more serious than
1t had been reasonable three months
ago to expect.
The country and the allied cause,
Colonel Churchill added, were en-
dangered. The future of the British
empire and of democratic civiliza-
ton was hanging in the balance, and
would continue to hang there for a
considerable period.
