NEW YORK. y. Y.-Since the re-
{ markable discovery OF organic iron,
Nuxated Iron or Fer NuXate," as the
/ French call il. has taken the country
by storm It is conservatively esti-
mated that over three million people
annually are taking IL in this country
alone Most astonishing results are re
ported from its use by both physicians
and laymen. So much so that doctors
predict that we shall soon have new

moved the iron of Mother Earth from
these impoverished foods. and silly
methods OF home cookery. by throwins
which our vegetables are cooked, are
responsible for another grave iron loss.
Therefore, II you wish to preserve
