New York, n. Y.-It is conserVatlveiS
estimated that over three million people
annually in this country alone are taxing
Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results
have been reported from its use both by
doctors and laymen, that a number OF
physicians in various parts OF the couh-
try have been asked to explain why lhey
prescribe il so extensively, ana why IL
apparently produces so much better re
suits than were obtained from the OLD
forms of inorganic iron.
Extracts from some OF the letters Ie-
ceived are given below:
DR.. King, a New York physician and
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 fags and the mem
ory fails and they often become weak
nervous, irritable. despondent and melan-
choly 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. can
dies, polished rice, white bread, SODA
crackers, biscuits, macaroni. spaghetti,
ia pioca, ssgo, farina, degerminated corn
meal. no longer is iron to be found. Re-
fining processes have removed the iron
of Mother Earth from these Impoverished
foods. and silly methods Of home cook
cry, by throwing down the waste-pipe the
water in which our vegetables are cooked
is responsible for another grave iron loss.
Therefore, II you wish to preserve your
youthful vim and vigor to ripe old age,
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. Il. Sauer, a. Boston physician VINO
has studied widely in both this country
and in prominent European Medical In
stitutions says: "As / have said hum
dred times over, organic iron is the
greatest of all strength builders II peo-
Pile would only throw away habit form

Not long ago a man came to me who
was nearly half a century old and asked
me to give him preliminary exanina-
tion for life insurance. I was astonished
to find him with blood pressure of a
boy of 20 and as full of vigor vim and
vitality as young man; in fact young
man he really was notwithstanding his
age. The secret he said. was taking
iron-Nuxated Iron had filled him with
renewed life. At 30 he was in bad health:
at 46 he was careworn and nearly all in

The late Secretary OF State. John Hay.
previous to his public life, wrote many

basis OF dramatic productions, notably
Jim Bludsoe" and 'Banty Tim" and
they were sent on tour with marked sue

Another prince celebrates his wedding
anniversary on February IS. but It is a
prince far less exalted in the scale of
aristocracy than is Prince George. This
is Pierre Troubetzkoy, who became the
husband of Amelie Rives twenty-one
years ago today. Amelie had already
been married to and divorced from an
other husband and at the time of this
marriage she was 80, and already widely
celebrated as the author of popular
novels
Pierre Troubetzkoy Is a prince In the
Russian aristocracy. but he is but halt
Russian. His mother was an American,
and for many years gathered around her
group Of distinguished literary folk and
artists at her villa on Lake Maggtore In
Italy. 1t was there that the Prince
Pierre was brought up.
About the time of his marriage to
Amelie Rlves the prince was proclaimed
to be the sensation of Washington So
ciety." He was of unusually large
physique, standing some six feet four
inches lin hfs stocking feet" His studio
in Washington was always crowded with
men and women of fashion and -promi-
nence. His work as an artist was much
admired. In London men like Gladstone
and Lord, Dutferin had sat for him and
this had brought him almost as great
popularity there as he enjoyed In this
country. 1t was In London that he met
Amelie Rives. then Mrs. Chanler. and a
romantic courtship ending in marriage
followed. After the marriage the prince
and princess returned to this country
where for some time the princess made
her home In Virginia. at the old Rives
homestead at Castle Hill. The prince d.
vided his time between that place and
his Washington studio. In spite OF his
many portraits and his suceess In de-
lineating the features of many beautiful
women he never attempted to make
picture of his own wife. He always pro-
tested that his brush could not do her
justice.
